Located in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the Landes (40) is home to an extraordinary diversity of forests and wooded massifs, a large share of which is made up of maritime pine, spruce and pedunculate oak. These forests play an essential role in sustainable management, underpinning timber production and supporting biodiversity. Whether for the sale of standing timber, firewood or leisure activities such as hiking, forest properties in the Landes offer countless possibilities. The rules governing forest management are strict — including undergrowth-clearing obligations and management plans designed to protect ecosystems while allowing responsible felling.
