In early September, the insurance group Groupama introduced its ‘Plantez des milliers’ (Plant thousands) initiative. This program offers the free distribution of 10,000 trees and shrubs to various regions, including Ariège and Paris-Val de Loire, to bolster forest resilience and mitigate wildfire impacts. The effort involves local species such as field maple, sweet cherry, and common hornbeam, with distribution scheduled through local agencies. By mid-September, similar efforts were noted in other regions. In Guebwiller, the Communauté de Communes de la Région de Guebwiller (CCRG) renewed its ‘Plantons le décor’ operation, allowing residents to participate in group orders of climate-appropriate plants. Additionally, Groupama d’Oc launched the third edition of its planting campaign in Hautes-Pyrénées, providing free viorne obier plants to help regenerate forests affected by drought and heatwaves. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-15: Environmental initiatives promote tree planting across France Environmental programs in France, including a group tree order in Guebwiller and free plant distribution by Groupama d'Oc in Hautes-Pyrénées, aim to boost biodiversity and combat climate change. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/environmental-initiatives-promote-tree-planting-across-france ### 2026-09-03: Groupama launches tree planting initiative across France Groupama has launched the ‘Plantez des milliers’ initiative, distributing 10,000 free trees and shrubs across French regions to promote biodiversity and forest resilience. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/groupama-launches-tree-planting-initiative-across-france --- Cite as: Tree planting and reforestation initiatives in France.
