Crans-près-Céligny
​
This project is located in Crans-près-Céligny in the canton of Vaud.
This forest is exposed to droughts and climate change, which has weakened the spruce trees in the area. They were planted many years ago in monoculture. As a result, the spruce trees affected by the bark beetle had to be cut down, leaving a hole behind. Oaks, chestnuts and walnuts have been planted to diversify this beautiful forest.

In collaboration with the biologist, Sylvie Viollier, tall fruit trees and hedges were planted to enrich the vineyard of the Domaine de Verex. These trees will bring a beautiful biodiversity and many animals, such as insects, birds and small mammals. These animals will find shelter and food. All planted trees will produce edible fruits and berries. These trees will also store CO2 and will be beneficial for the environment.
