Posted on February 18, 2021 TONNELLERIE BILLON PRESS RELEASE
Tonnellerie BILLON, an artisanal family owned cooperage located in Beaune France and founded in 1947 is pleased to announce it has just signed a French oak replantation contract with Naudet Nurseries for replanting oak trees in France’s regional central forests. Tonnellerie BILLON is pleased to announce that through this project, 1000 trees will be planted in the autumn of 2021. The French Government through the ONF which stands for “Office National des Forêts” already does an amazing job managing France’s oak forests sustainably for future generations to come. However, because of climate change, some French oak forests in central France are suffering because of drier, sandier soils due to slightly more arid and desert-like environmental phenomena that are now being felt even in central France.
