How many trees will be cut? Will they be replanted? What will be the final result?

Despite the optimisations made to the project, some tree cutting is essential to allow the construction of civil engineering works, particularly in the park of the Juvisy Town Hall. In total, 72 trees will be affected in this sector.

However, the project expects a largely positive outcome at the end of the work, with the planting of more than 150 trees in the park. These new plantings will contribute to strengthening the landscape quality of the site while preserving its historical identity.

The replanted trees will not be limited to young trees. Trees of different sizes, which can measure between 2 and 10 metres depending on the species, will be planted in order to quickly recreate diversified plant atmospheres. The species selected, including several varieties of oak (Quercus) and flowering trees (Prunus), were selected for their adaptation to the urban environment as well as for their resistance to climate change.

The protection of the plant heritage is a major challenge of the project. The site areas have been reduced as much as possible in order to preserve the remarkable trees, such as the two ginkgo biloba, which will be the subject of specific protection devices during the work.

Slaughter operations will be carried out exclusively during the winter period, outside the nesting period of the birds. Before each intervention, an ecologist mandated by Île-de-France Mobilités will check the absence of protected species. The project is also regularly monitored with the site inspector and the necessary regulatory authorisations, including the prior declaration, have been obtained.

In addition to quantitative compensation, the objective is to reconstitute a more resilient, more diversified stock that is better adapted to the environmental and climate challenges of tomorrow.
