Is anyone aware of (if there are any) rules & regs on what you can & can't do to trees here from a surgery/felling point of view? In UK checking for preservation orders and conservation areas was routine before carrying out works. I'm resuming a degree of felling & climbing as a part of a shake up of my business & haven't researched it yet...Chrispy?    Report

We have just picked up a Permit de Travaux for our neighbours who live in England and in the form there is a section about getting permission for felling a tree. Now, I'm sure that not every Frenchman (or any other nationality) fill out a form each time they want to cut down a tree, but officially I think that is the requirement, although I might be wrong. Perhaps if you were doing a big clearance it would be a good idea!     Report

Hi Chris, having skimmed through the net a bit I have to agree with Jonzjob - seems like it depends from commune to commune and especially in towns and villages so if in doubt a call at the mairies is probably the answer. good to see you're back at the tree surgery - maybe you should say what areas you can cover in case anyone needs some work doing    Report

All you have to do is check with the DDE if there is a preservation order in place, in reality it's highly unlikely that there will be, they usually only cover trees in villages, towns and some of the historical  tree lined roads. Trees that are situated in peoples gardens in the countryside would almost certainly not have an order and if they did I would assume that the owners would know.

Our neighbour told us that there's a theoretical requirement to re-plant one for every one that you fell. In practice though (at least around here), they're self-seeding with the number of acorns that drop. Providing you don't go completely mad, most authorities will be more than happy if you practice sensible forestry management, over which there are regulations anyway (as in operations de debroussaillement - I've got the regs in front of me).    Report

Thanks all....I'll pop into DDE today Chrispy to see if there is standard practice in place. I must say that the agricultural community seem to be pretty well clued up on how they use their woodland. A second generation local forester I know told me that if they didn't look after their woodland then his sons would have no income to inherit so they are very careful, they don't need to be controlled by beaurocrats. Areas Gemini? Neither time nor distance mean very much to me.....    Report

In area 87 &86 there do not appear to be many listed trees at all, that said we have come across one. Aftre we condemed it the DDE did also. The removal was then a standard procedure    Report
