Forêt de Bonnechose - 2025Eure225

Normandie  /  Eure

• The forest stand, consisting of regular oak and conifer high forests at various stages of maturity, offers a substantial timber capital, valuable both in the short and long term. 
• The quality of its land structure and infrastructure contributes to rational and efficient forestry management.
• With its size, productive potentials, and location, near major communication routes, the Bonnechose forest presents a marked interest for both forest investors and nature and hunting enthusiasts.

• A central location, in the heart of Normandy and easily accessible from Rouen, Caen, or Paris;
• A land unit forming a significant forest ensemble in a preserved setting;
• A quality forest heritage, composed of deciduous and coniferous high forests at various stages of maturity. Timber harvesting will both generate regular income and sustainably enhance the value of the massif
• Very good access, well structured, facilitating management and forestry operations.

The Forest

The Species

The Oak, predominantly sessile, dominates the deciduous species encountered. Tall trees, free of major defects and highly valued by processors. In the most capitalized plots, the quality portion (plot and veneer) is high.

The second deciduous species is the Beech, and where the soil is deep, it also provides quality wood. It is also present in old landscape alignments along the paths and roads crossing the property.

The Chestnut and more rarely the Ash and Wild Cherry complete the range of deciduous species present in the massif.

The Corsican Pine is the dominant species, mainly found in large plantations. 

The Scots Pine is the second coniferous species. It is often of good quality with a naturally pruned and straight trunk.

The Maritime Pine, Weymouth Pine, Larch, and Douglas Fir have been introduced in small touches. The results are sometimes quite convincing.


The Stands

Hunting

The territory benefits from a marked hunting interest, supported by two active hunting plans.

> The first covers 43 wooded hectares and allows the harvesting of 2 roe deer;

> The second extends over 200 hectares with a quota of 15 roe deer;

Besides these allocations, the massif hosts a population of wild boars and transient deer, enhancing the appeal and diversity of the hunting territory.
The size and quality of the stands make hunting particularly enjoyable and varied. If necessary, the existing hunting plans can be adjusted to better adapt to the observed population dynamics.

Conclusion

• This land benefits from an ancient and solid reputation for producing top-quality oaks, whose quality is recognized well beyond the region.
• The combination of well-structured land, good access, and the quality of forest stations ensures ideal conditions for producing and easily mobilizing high-value timber.
• The significant stock of oaks and pines already in place, associated with well-followed resinous and deciduous plantations, indeed makes this forest a top-tier forest heritage.
