Affected by chestnut ink disease, some forests in the north of Ile-de-France (Paris region) are rapidly dying out. Such is the damage in Montmorency – where chestnut trees currently represent 70% of its cover – that the forest was classified as being in a health crisis in 2018. When the trees are diseased or dead, the French National Forests Office (Office national des forêts, ONF), a partner of A Tree for You, must then resort to sanitation cutting. This project seeks to restore healthy afforestation with more resistant species. This project is entirely financed by the Or en Cash Fondation.
93% of the donations received will be put into the project and the remaining 7% used to cover the running costs of A Tree For You
