About Melrand forest
The Melrand forest is located in the Morbihan department in Brittany. It is crossed to the south by the Brandifrout, a tributary stream of the right bank of the Blavet river, which is nationally recognised, and home to a large population of wild fish: river trout (Salmo trutta fario) and its accompanying species (European bullhead, stone loach, minnow), as well as migratory species such as European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and salmon (Salmo).
Prior to our purchase in 2017, the majority of the plots were former farmlands. We planted them with tree species suited to the climate and soil such as: Douglas fir, maritime pine, red oak, poplar and Sitka spruce. These planted trees will be managed in an irregular high-forest, following the principles of continuous cover forestry.
