When properly managed, the edges, transitional environments between the forest and open spaces, are true oases of life welcoming a large number of species. They bring many benefits: an increase in biodiversity, protection of stands against sunburn and wind turbulence, as well as the creation of a more diverse landscape.

As part of this training, everyone will be able to practice simulated tree marking using a lisieroscope in favour of a structured and diversified forest edge. lisièroscope.

The lisieroscope is an exercise area which allows the intensity and character of each tree marker’s harvesting practice to be analysed according to different criteria. It consists of an area of just over one hectare set up on the outer edge, where all the trees are numbered and mapped. The variables taken from each inventoried tree are: species, circumference, presence of dendromicrohabitats, ecological value of the trees, economical quality, as well as various observations (narrow crown area, health status, pillar tree, etc.).
