An Ile-de-France project

The project is located in Chars in the Val-d'Oise, to the North of the Parc Naturel Régional du Vexin Français. Chars is a rural commune, crossed by the river Viosne, which forms Viosne valley cutting through the Vexin plateau.

The area is dominated by farmland, with forests covering only 15% of its surface area. The project will help to create an ecological continuity between the two main woodland formations in the village, in line with the objectives of the green network, and more specifically of the tree subnetwork to be preserved in this area.

The site is accessible by TER line J from Paris St Lazare, and is 18 km from Cergy-Pontoise.

Diversity of species

The diversity of trees species in the forest makes it possible to combine more types of habitat and food for biodiversity. It also makes the forest more resilient to parasitic attacks, which are sometimes specific to certain species.

A project to be preserved in the Ile-de-France landscape

Forests account for only 15% of the surface area of the PNR du Vexin Français. Sustainable forest management and diversified tree species planting projects are helping to maintain these natural landscapes, in an area where urbanisation and the fragmentation of natural areas are a major concern.

Ecological continuity

If the various natural environments are to be accessible and connected by species, they must be as unfragmented as possible. The continuity of the same type of natural area, such as a forest, will encourage the movement of species over a larger surface area.

A positive impact on society and the economy

The forestry sector encompasses a wide range of occupations that cannot be relocated: forestry experts and managers, tree nurseries, forestry work companies (lumberjacks and loggers). The wood processing industry in France also encompasses a wide range of trades right through to the manufacture of the finished product.
