France Plants Urban Micro-Forest to Combat Climate Change

In Falaise, France, the Bossy-Cévert association, dedicated to planting 2 billion trees and shrubs by 2050, has created a new urban micro-forest. Volunteers planted 2,700 plants of ten different native species in a 4,500 m2 area provided by the city. This green space aims to reconnect residents with nature, promote biodiversity, and offer a refreshing haven in the face of climate change. The project, initially met with some resistance, is now seen as a vital step towards creating a greener and more sustainable urban environment.
