That is a great shot!
Shows beautifully that modern production #Forestry can '...evoke the feeling of ancient, untouched woodland...' while providing #LowCarbon building materials.

Forêts européennes : il faut agir vite pour sauver ces puits de carbone

L'absorption du CO2 par les forêts européennes diminue sous l'effet des sécheresses ou de l'exploitation forestière, menaçant ainsi les objectifs climatiques de l'UE. Des chercheurs appellent à agir rapidement dans une étude parue dans Nature.

Coupes rases, bois-énergie, subventions : un rapport choc sur la gestion de la forêt en France

Planter un milliard d'arbres en dix ans : l'objectif du gouvernement pour « sauver » nos forêts est critiqué depuis plusieurs années par les ONG environnementales. Cette fois, c'est le directeur par intérim du Secrétariat général à la planification écologique, placé sous l'autorité de Matignon, qui pointe les dérives de politiques publiques favorisant les plantations après coupes rases.

No more #clearcutting in #Dutch #forests https://www.fern.org/publications-insight/clear-cutting-in-dutch-forests-is-no-longer-allowed/

Received wisdom in #Silviculture is that #Clearfell or #Clearcut coupes mimic nature in #fireclimax habitats. While I agree clearcut / restock can be brutal & we are heavily over-reliant on the system, it seems 'bold' to outlaw it entirely, regardless of scale. Surely local production and 'better' rather than 'less' silviculture would provide #timber for less #carbon intensive #building solutions

@mustapipa even better if the reforestation efforts are well thought through in terms of species and within species diversity seeded or planted (planted seedlings are less drought resistant than seedlings that had grown from seeds in situ) : nearly one in three tree species are on the IUCN redlist, #reforestation would be a chance to get these locally out of the redlist.
