The French heritage foundation has allocated funds to support biodiversity initiatives in the Puy-de-Dôme department. These projects aim to restore natural habitats and promote ecological balance in the region.
One of the funded projects focuses on reforestation efforts in Chaumont-le-Bourg. The initiative involves diversifying the forest by introducing various tree species to enhance biodiversity and strengthen the forest's resilience to climate change. The project also emphasizes the preservation of local biodiversity by providing suitable habitats and resources.
Another project targets the restoration of the Puy de Chaumont, a volcanic site in the Chaîne des Puys. The plan includes clearing the crater of trees to reveal geological features and creating a hiking trail to allow visitors to explore the area. This effort aims to balance landscape quality with the preservation of geological outlines.
These initiatives reflect a broader commitment to environmental stewardship and the preservation of natural heritage in the Puy-de-Dôme region.
