Project description
The 20-hectare farm hosts around twenty horses in a paddock and a herd of cattle (5 cows and 15 calves) grazing on four plots of varying sizes within a horse circuit. Some areas lack shade, highlighting the need to introduce trees for the comfort and well-being of the animals.
Exposed to southern winds, the farm also plans to create windbreak hedges to protect fields and buildings. Additionally, exploring the use of tree fodder with species known for their forage value is being considered.
The 1,030 plants will be selected under the label “Végétal local”. The tall hedges, consisting of fast-growing trees and shrubs, will be planted along field borders. Tree lines will be established in paddocks to improve conditions for the animals.
This project aims to enhance biodiversity, provide wind protection, offer food through forage trees, and beautify the landscape.
