Memory

Eighty years ago, soldiers and civilians lost their lives on French territory for the liberation and future of Europe. Today, (it’s to honor their memory) and to confront climate change that we must fight to offer a future to future generations.

According to the IUCN, 28% of evaluated species are considered to be in imminent danger of extinction. The destruction and fragmentation of habitats being the main cause of this erosion, Bossy-Cévert has chosen to give space back to biodiversity by planting trees.

The team

Close to nature from the beginning, concerned about the disappearance of living beings and sensitive to the integration of young people with disabilities, everything was brought together to combine the two: restoring degraded natural environments while restoring battered life paths.

Environmentally conscious since my childhood, I want to leave a legacy to my children. That's why this forest of 150,000 trees is close to my heart because it will raise awareness for future generations.

Close to nature since always, concerned about the disappearance of living things and sensitive to the integration of young people with disabilities, everything was brought together to link the two: restoring degraded natural environments while restoring battered life paths.
