3 major dynamic functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An essential component of our territory, the forest fulfils 3 major dynamic functions at the service of society<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economical<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a production site for wood materials, the forest creates many jobs on the ground and in the downstream sector (sawmills, paper, panels, etc.);<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Home to significant biodiversity, it protects soils from erosion, plays a positive role in the water and air cycles by producing oxygen and acts as a carbon sink;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Social<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A place where the public can come in search of fresh air and open spaces, the forest is a place where everyone lives: walkers, anglers, hunters, etc;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

In the face of climate change, maintaining these different functions is a challenge if forests are to continue to provide us with the benefits of their services. More resilient forests are first and foremost more diverse forests, in terms of species, silvicultural practices, genetics and habitats. With this in mind, SRFB has adopted and adapted the concept of \" Mosaic forest<\/a> \"To think about the forest of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
