Project presentation
Located in the heart of Bourgogne Franche Comté, this reforestation project spans 25.5 hectares in the municipality of La Longine ; La Montagne. Certified with the Low-Carbon Label, it will sequester 11,868 tons of CO₂ over its lifetime. With 56,661 trees from 3 different species, this project actively promotes biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
Planted species (3)
Species diversity strengthens forest resilience against diseases and climate change.
Douglas vert
Pseudotsuga menziesii · Pinaceae
Originaire de la côte ouest de l'Amérique du Nord, le Douglas atteint 60 m en France et jusqu'à 100 m dans son aire d'origine. Son bois est utilisé en charpente, construction et bois énergie. Essence en expansion en France grâce à sa croissance rapide et son excellence adaptation climatique.
Did you know?
Ses cônes se reconnaissent à leurs bractées en forme de trident dépassant des écailles.
Pin laricio de Corse
Pinus nigra subsp. laricio · Pinaceae
Endémique des montagnes corses et calabraises, il atteint 40 m et vit jusqu'à 600 ans. Son fût droit est très recherché pour la charpente et la menuiserie.
Did you know?
Certains specimens de Corse dépassent les 600 ans, ils figurent parmi les plus vieux arbres de France.
Cèdre de l'Atlas
Cedrus atlantica · Pinaceae
Originaire des montagnes d'Afrique du Nord, il atteint 40 m. Bois durable naturellement résistant aux insectes, utilisé en ébénisterie. Essence d'avenir face au changement climatique.
Did you know?
Son bois contient naturellement des huiles essentielles qui le protègent des insectes, d'où son utilisation historique pour les coffres à vêtements.
Environmental & social impacts
Beyond carbon sequestration, each project generates measurable positive impacts on the environment and local communities. Here is the detailed assessment of this project.
🌍Climate
98%
This project sequesters 465.4 tCO₂/ha over its lifetime. Carbon is captured in biomass (trunks, branches, roots) and soils. This is the project's primary impact: contributing to climate change mitigation by removing CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Biodiversity
Significant impact75%
With 3 different species (moderate diversity), this project creates a rich habitat for wildlife. The ecological corridors formed allow species to circulate, promoting pollination and natural biological pest control.
Water
High impact88%
Over 25.5 ha, the vegetation cover acts as a natural filter. Roots promote water infiltration into soils, reduce runoff and erosion, and enable groundwater recharge. Downstream water quality is directly improved.
Soils
High impact89%
With 2222 trees/ha, the root system structures the soil in depth. Litter (dead leaves, twigs) enriches organic matter, feeds soil microorganisms and increases water retention capacity. A living, fertile soil is the foundation of a resilient ecosystem.
Socio-economic
High impact90%
This project of 25.5 ha in La Longine ; La Montagne supports the local economy: direct jobs (planting, maintenance, monitoring), enhancement of the territory and natural heritage. It strengthens the link between rural communities and their environment, contributing to the ecological transition.
Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 SDGs are a global framework defined by the United Nations to build a sustainable future by 2030. This project directly contributes to 5 of them. Here's why.
6
Clean Water and Sanitation
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water
Why this project: The vegetation cover on 25.5 ha naturally filters runoff water and promotes groundwater recharge. By reducing erosion and nutrient leaching, this project improves water quality available for local uses.
8
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth
Why this project: This project contributes to this goal through its carbon sequestration actions and strengthening of local ecosystems.
12
Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Why this project: The sustainable forest management of this project of 25.5 ha ensures responsible wood production: planted trees will eventually provide timber or energy wood, replacing high carbon footprint materials.
13
Climate Action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Why this project: This is the primary impact: this project sequesters 11,868 tons of CO2 over its lifetime, certified by the Low-Carbon Label. Every ton removed from the atmosphere directly contributes to fighting climate change.
15
Life on Land
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems
Why this project: This project of 25.5 ha in La Longine ; La Montagne plants 3 different species, recreating a complete forest ecosystem: wildlife habitat, ecological corridors, and soil biodiversity enrichment through mycorrhizal fungi.

Label Bas-Carbone method · Reforestation
Rebuilding a forest destroyed by a natural disaster or degraded by dieback. The method aims to restore resilient stands adapted to climate change.
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 (they would not have occurred without the project). Each project is audited by an independent body before labelling, then monitored throughout its duration.
How it works:
1. The project owner submits a file describing the reference scenario (without project) and the project scenario.
2. The difference between the two scenarios gives the net emission reductions, expressed in tons of CO₂ equivalent.
3. An independent auditor verifies the data in the field and validates the calculations.
4. The ministry issues the Low-Carbon Label and carbon credits are issued.
5. The project is monitored for 30 years with periodic verifications.
