Set in the Hauts-de-France region, the Oise is rich in biodiversity and home to several remarkable wooded massifs. With nearly 140,000 hectares given over to forest (source: Oise department, IGN National Forest Inventory), this territory offers a variety of tree species, from broadleaves such as pedunculate oak and beech to conifers including Scots pine and maritime pine. The forests of the Oise serve many uses: timber production, firewood, leisure, hunting and protection of the environment, all contributing to the sustainable management of natural resources.
Production forests, for instance, are essential to the forest-and-timber sector, while other parcels are devoted to leisure such as walking or cycling. Acquiring a forest property in the Oise nonetheless calls for a clear understanding of the rules in force, in particular the French Forest Code covering tree felling, management plans and the statutory clearing of undergrowth. Investing in a forest also brings appealing tax advantages, notably a partial 75% exemption from inheritance duties and the possibility of a partial exemption from Real Estate Wealth Tax (IFI), strengthening the appeal of forest investment (sources: French General Tax Code, forestry chartered accountant).
