Maximize the ecological potential of your agricultural coulees or extended riparian strips with our “Regen agricole Coulée” seedbox. Designed specifically to transform these unused areas into wooded environments, this kit helps enhance biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem services. By planting trees adapted to these spaces, you not only create ecological corridors that improve connectivity between natural environments, but also contribute to the conservation of local flora and fauna, enriching your region's ecosystem.

 

Plant composition according to location:

  • Bottom of slope: Regulatory 3m riparian buffer composed of native or naturalized trees and shrubs adapted to wet soils.
  • Middle section of slope: Planting of an assortment of deciduous and coniferous trees. This choice aims to stabilize the slope, reduce erosion, sequester carbon, diversify available habitats and improve ecological connectivity. A riparian strip more than 5 metres wide can be considered as a hedge or island when coupled with the Seedbox Agri Regen Haies.
  • Top of the coulee: Create a herbaceous strip 4 to 6 metres wide to prevent problems with tree roots and woody debris in the adjacent agricultural zone. It is recommended to enrich this strip with herbaceous seeds that attract pollinators. To maintain its function as a filter for agricultural pollutants, this zone should be mowed annually, ideally in autumn, to avoid disturbing bird and turtle nesting.
