The Landes forest shows a unique specificity related to several facts. Indeed, this forest stands for the largest european forest. Despite its poor ground, it shelters a particular species of tree, able to colonize a challenging environment, called maritime pine (Pinus pinaster). It might be a true asset in the context of current climate changes. Besides its adaptability, the Landes forest also shows a strong resilience against natural disasters.
In order to ensure a sustained production of wood and a sustainable system, local players continuously think of directions concerning the cultivation of maritime pine and its transformation.
As our project aims to use coproducts of wood transformation, it was important for us to go out and meet those players so they can help us to better understand the needs and the socio-economic issues of the Landes forest.
