Project presentation
Located in the heart of Bourgogne Franche Comté, this reforestation project spans 5.24 hectares in the municipality of Luthenay-Uxeloup. Certified with the Low-Carbon Label, it will sequester 894 tons of CO₂ over its lifetime. With 7,850 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.
Chêne pubescent
Quercus pubescens · Fagaceae
Chêne méditerranéen de taille moyenne (20 m), résistant à la sécheresse. Feuilles marcescentes persistant sur l'arbre en hiver. Essence clé de la garrigue.
Did you know?
Il s'appelle pubescent car le dessous de ses feuilles et ses rameaux sont couverts d'un fin duvet de poils, visibles à la loupe.
Chêne rouvre / sessile
Quercus petraea · Fagaceae
Arbre majestueux pouvant vivre plus de 500 ans et atteindre 40 m. Essence emblématique des forêts françaises, son bois est prisé en tonnellerie et ébénisterie.
Did you know?
Il représente environ 25 % de la surface boisée en France, c'est l'essence la plus répandue.
Cormier
Sorbus domestica · Rosaceae
Arbre devenu rare, atteignant 20 m. Son bois est l'un des plus durs et des plus lourds d'Europe. Ses fruits (cormes) étaient autrefois consommés blets.
Did you know?
Son bois est si dense (0,75-0,90 g/cm³) qu'il coule dans l'eau, et était utilisé pour fabriquer les engrenages des moulins.
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
86%
This project sequesters 170.6 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 impact79%
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
Very high impact93%
Over 5.24 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 impact84%
With 1498 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
Significant impact73%
This project of 5.24 ha in Luthenay-Uxeloup 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 4 of them. Here's why.
6
Clean Water and Sanitation
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water
Why this project: The vegetation cover on 5.24 ha naturally filters runoff water and promotes groundwater recharge. By reducing erosion and nutrient leaching, this project improves water quality available for local uses.
12
Responsible Consumption and Production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Why this project: The sustainable forest management of this project of 5.24 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 894 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 5.24 ha in Luthenay-Uxeloup 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.
