Mixed continuous-cover forestry (irregular silviculture) offers a potential way to strengthen forest resilience in the face of climate change. However, how effective is this approach, and what are its advantages and limitations? CERF VERT manages 500 hectares of forest across France and aims to collaborate with research organizations to help answer these questions. CERF VERT is prepared to make its forests available for field analysis and monitoring.

CERF VERT is a citizen-owned forestry investment company dedicated to the preservation and sustainable management of French forests. It mobilizes capital from citizens and organizations to acquire forest tracts and manage them in an ecosystem-friendly manner. Its model aims to balance timber production, biodiversity conservation, and the maintenance of ecosystem services (water, carbon, and biodiversity).
It prioritizes mixed, continuous-cover forestry based on natural stand dynamics and forest resilience.
It currently has 600 shareholders, 15 forests, and approximately 500 hectares, and holds ESUS accreditation (Solidarity-based Enterprise of Social Utility).
