Set in the Hauts-de-France region, the Nord department is home to a diversity of forests that make it a genuine natural treasure. From wooded massifs of pedunculate oak to plantations of Scots pine, by way of stands of beech and spruce, these woodlands offer many opportunities for use. The department stands out for its production forests, which allow the sale of quality timber for a range of purposes, from firewood to timber production for industry. These green spaces are also laid out for leisure, hunting and the protection of biodiversity, while playing a crucial part in carbon storage across the Nord.
The rules governing forest management are essential to guarantee sustainable use. The French Forest Code sets requirements on tree felling and management plans, as well as a statutory duty to clear undergrowth to prevent the risk of fire. In terms of tax benefits, owning a forest property can bring significant exemptions, notably from Real Estate Wealth Tax (IFI) and inheritance duties. These advantages make the forest market of the Nord a genuine investment opportunity.
