ARBORETUM DE SAINT-NABORD

Description

Created in 2000, near the "Au-dessus de Chaumont" sector, for educational and experimental purposes, this forest area is home to a fine collection of conifers (Larch, Eastern Spruce, Weymouth Pine, Colorado Fir, Sitka Spruce, Sequoia, Scots Pine, etc.) and broadleaf trees (Catalpas, Tulip trees, Montpellier Maple, Purple Maple, Alder, Robinia, Ash, Red Chestnut, Oak, etc.). ) and deciduous trees (Catalpas, Tulip trees, Montpellier Maples, Purple Maples, Cherry trees, Alder trees, Robinia trees, Ash trees, Red Chestnut trees, Red Oaks, Elms...).

A map of the site with the location of the different species and the signposted route, located near the carport and the picnic table, welcomes the visitor on arrival at the arboretum.

About forty panels spread throughout the site inform the walkers about the characteristics of each species present on the site. 5 other panels are devoted to themes such as global warming and its consequences on the fauna and flora, the forest ecosystem or the vegetation in an acid environment. Directional arrows mark out the pedestrian route from one end of the circuit to the other, suggesting a direction for the visit.

This experimental island with its majestic trees, located in the heart of our forest, is only waiting for walkers eager for knowledge and large green spaces to reveal its treasures...
