Until the 1950s, Feing Counot was a diversified farm where a peat bog, a stream, and vast meadows coexisted. However, this harmonious landscape changed when the site was completely replanted with spruces. This transformation led to excessive drainage, causing the gradual degradation of the peat bog. As a result, biodiversity declined, and the site’s ecosystem services were significantly reduced. To initiate the restoration work, a team composed of specialists from the Conservatory of Natural Spaces and the forest manager visited the site. They determined the specific actions to be undertaken for each tree, taking into account its ecological role, age, health condition, and long-term restoration objectives. By restoring the peat bog, the stream, and the blueberry heath, the goal is to encourage the return of iconic species, notably the capercaillie, a threatened bird that finds a precious refuge here. But the challenge is also broader: to strengthen the site’s climate resilience, improve water management, and practice sustainable forestry. At Feing Counot: Planning of Hydraulic Restoration
