Located in the Hauts-de-France region, the Somme is home to a great diversity of forests and woodland. These natural areas play several roles: they are a resource for timber production, offer leisure opportunities, and help protect the environment. The production forests, made up mainly of broadleaved species such as oak, beech and ash, but also occasionally of conifers like Scots pine, are managed for the sale of timber, notably for the forest-and-timber supply chain. French private forests in particular can be placed under sustainable forest management to promote responsible use and protect biodiversity.
Forestry regulation is essential: it includes obligations such as management plans, rules on tree felling and statutory clearing of undergrowth. Forest owners can also benefit from tax advantages such as exemptions on inheritance duties and income, which makes investing in a forest estate attractive. The forest is, moreover, a genuine carbon sink, contributing to the fight against climate change throughout the Somme.
