Planting period : february 2022
At the end of the small Francis de Pressensé square in Vénissieux, a 300 m² micro-forest was planted in February 2022 with the participation of around 120 people. Containing 45 local species, it will provide local residents with a grove to enjoy birdsong and summer shade. Unfortunately, its growth has been slowed by trampling and particularly aggressive bindweed, but the plantation is doing well and developing.
Planting site: Square de Pressensé, at the far end of the park, on land previously covered with lawns
Coordonnées GPS précises : 45.72524, 4.86254

Prior to planting, the soil was turned over and amended so that it could be worked with the volunteers and loosened to present a structure favorable to tree root exploration.

As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, volunteers gather to start planting.
