Among the projects and work, it is necessary to note the development on runway 335, a hump every 500 meters, as well as a drilling and a tank. “Runway 101 (Perchigat) achieved with a four-way agreement is a great success,” he said. Runway 45 (Cerbouheyres) has been reprofiled in soil, entirely on its own funds. “We always need to identify priorities to increase the maintenance of our runways within the forest which remains a fragile ecosystem,” said the president.
Prevention and forest issues
He also emphasized “the effectiveness of the firefighting teams and the civil security reserve. I congratulate them for such a team, it gives confidence.” To boost finances, the contribution will increase from 2.50 to 3 euros per hectare for 2027.
In turn, Cédric Auvin, agricultural chamber forest advisor, presented “the possible support for property owners following storm Nils and its diffuse damage, the potential return of bark beetles, and the pine nematode.” Christian Belliard, DDTM technician, addressed the audience about the legal obligation of deforestation measures (OLD), which falls under the mayor’s policing power. These operations to reduce vegetation fuels are necessary to decrease the risks and intensity of fires. They involve pruning and clearing.
Maintaining Forest Fire Defense Pathways (DFCI) is therefore a major issue. Serge Blanco, president of the hunting association, emphasizes “how our vehicles must be able to pass through all paths. No impenetrable areas in the face of overpopulation of wild boars and deer.”
