Rocalia is a partner of the “Planting for the Future” fund. This fund, financed through sponsorship, assists 352 (and counting) reforestation projects throughout France, with 2.35 million trees and 2,120 hectares re-planted so far in an approach based on sustainable forest management and adaptation to climate change.

Thanks to donations from its sponsors, Planting for the Future provides a concrete response to the challenges of reforestation in France through its programmes:

• Planting: with direct support for landowners for their reforestation operations
• Awareness: working to inform people about the fundamental role of forests and the uses of timber  
• Innovation: supporting the development of forest management techniques and practices suited to the environmental and climate challenges of the future

For its 2023 edition, Rocalia is planting a tree for every registered exhibitor!  

Come and meet them at stand 4K07 during the Paysalia show!
