“We had never seen that in Thionville for 50 years! “Forced in recent months to reserve his interventions to the sensitive issue of vaccination, Jean-Christophe Hamelin-Boyer is not the kind of man to ignite. But last Monday, evening of city council, this elected member of the majority came out of the woods with passion. For good reason: Thionville will benefit from the recovery plan proposed by the State to help communities restore forests. “A first in Moselle”, highlights the municipal councilor.
Concretely, this device will make it possible to repopulate a forest area of 16.5 hectares located in Œutrange, “above the football field”. Disguised, this vast plot is painfully recovering from serious pathologies relating to attacks by bark beetles and processionary caterpillars. This (good) government plan will fill the void.

Total amount of the investment: € 162,000 eligible for 80% subsidy.

These generate a net operating result close to € 30,000: “Some years, cuts can bring in € 50,000 or even € 70,000. When I talk about return on investment, we are there ”.
