Loïc and Jean-Philippe, two dairy farmers from Brittany, wish to turn to agroforestry and plant trees in the middle of a plot of grassland grazed by dairy cows. Planting 269 trees on this piece of land will help the farm adapt to climate change, diversify biodiversity, fertilise the soil, and store carbon in the trees and soil.

This new project in Tena seeks to reforest spoiled areas with 11,200 trees. The sustainable agroforestry model being implemented is helping improve the quality of life for Kichwas while protecting the adjacent primary forest. This initiative is a response to the issue of biodiversity loss. It is carrying on from previous projects focused on planting valuable trees in Tena.

Guillaume, a farmer in the Vienne, for many years led an experimental station that tested introducing trees into the farming. Today he is keen to plant hedgerows around his agroforestry plot, which produces fodder to feed the flock of a neighbouring shepherd as well as aromatic plants. Planting 605 trees around the plot will enrich biodiversity, improve soil fertility, and serve as an example of a more sustainable agricultural model for other farmers to follow.

A farmer, Félix raises a 150-head herd of Red Angus in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques (southwest France). He is keen to adopt agroforestry and put trees at the heart of the cattle pasture. Introducting 1,208 trees will provide additional food and shade for the livestock, improve soil fertility, and enrich biodiversity on the farm.

Michel, a winegrower in the Indre-et-Loire department, is convinced there is a place for trees in agricultural systems. Hence he has starting reintroducing them to his vineyard. Together with his father, now retired, he plans to plant 881 fruit trees, including 477 financed by A Tree for You donors, amidst the vines to protect them from the impacts of climate change, such as excessive heat and late frosts, and so continue producing wine in this emblematic region!

French Guiana boasts over 1,500 tree species and is one of the world’s five High-Biodiversity Wilderness Areas (HBWA). This diversity is under threat from gold mining and increasing urbanization. In addition, there is little know-how today to preserve local tree species. This project involves planting 625 trees to establish a seed orchard with species endemic to this particular territory, which, over time, will help preserve and restore the natural environment currently under threat.
