Cartigny, GE

​

This project is located in the middle of the Cartigny vineyard in the canton of Geneva. This spruce forest has been affected by climate change. The trees weakened by drought were affected by the bark beetle, a small beetle that spread easily in this monoculture tree plantation. The spruce trees dried out and had to be cut down. This problem is typically linked to climate change.
Oaks have been planted on this plot, a resistant and interesting species, which will revitalise the forest and bring diversity.

​

Sessile oak is a large tree of the northern temperate hemisphere, with hollow bark, gnarled branches, lobed leaves and fruits (acorns) housed in a cup. 

The oak tree symbolizes strength, power and generosity. It has shared our lives since the dawn of time and has naturally come to signify longevity.
