Le bois de la Menaudière is a afforestation project located in Pays de la Loire, municipality of Saint-Cyr-le-Gravelais (Mayenne). Certified Label Bas-Carbone by the Ministry of Ecological Transition using the "BOISEMENT" method, this project covers 5.66 hectares.
The carbon sequestration potential is estimated at 1,264 tonnes of CO₂ over the project's lifetime, an intensity of 223.3 tCO₂ per hectare.
9,440 trees were planted, comprising 3 different species at a density of 1,668 trees per hectare. This species diversity strengthens the ecosystem's resilience to climate risks and promotes local biodiversity.
Beyond carbon sequestration, each project generates measurable positive impacts on the environment and local communities.
This project sequesters 223.3 tCO₂/ha over its lifetime. Carbon is captured in biomass and soils. This is the primary impact: contributing to climate change mitigation.
With 3 different species (moderate diversity), this project creates a rich habitat for wildlife. Ecological corridors promote pollination and biological control.
Over 5.66 ha, vegetation filters water, reduces runoff and erosion, and promotes groundwater recharge.
With 1668 trees/ha, the root system structures the soil. Litter enriches organic matter and increases water retention.
This 5.66 ha project in Saint-Cyr-le-Gravelais supports the local economy: direct jobs, territory enhancement and ecological transition.

Project notification
The project owner submits their application to the ministry.
Field audit
An independent auditor verifies the project data on site.
Labelling
The project is validated and receives the official Low-Carbon Label.
Monitoring
Regular monitoring of project progress and carbon indicators.
Credit certification
Emission reductions are verified and carbon credits are issued.
The Low-Carbon Label is an official certification framework from the French Ministry of Ecological Transition. It guarantees that emission reductions are real, measurable, verifiable and additional.
How it works:
1. The project owner submits a file describing the reference and project scenarios.
2. The difference gives net emission reductions in CO₂ equivalent.
3. An independent auditor verifies the data in the field.
4. The ministry issues the Label and carbon credits are issued.
5. The project is monitored with periodic verifications.
Species diversity strengthens forest resilience against diseases and climate change.
