Project presentation
Le bois de Cercamp is a afforestation project located in Hauts de France, municipality of Frevent (Pas de Calais). Certified Label Bas-Carbone by the Ministry of Ecological Transition using the "BOISEMENT" method, this project covers 18 hectares.
The carbon sequestration potential is estimated at 5,757 tonnes of CO₂ over the project's lifetime, an intensity of 319.8 tCO₂ per hectare.
22,860 trees were planted, comprising 3 different species at a density of 1,270 trees per hectare. This species diversity strengthens the ecosystem's resilience to climate risks and promotes local biodiversity.

Environmental & social impacts
Beyond carbon sequestration, each project generates measurable positive impacts on the environment and local communities.
🌍Climate
98%
This project sequesters 319.8 tCO₂/ha over its lifetime. Carbon is captured in biomass and soils. This is the primary impact: contributing to climate change mitigation.
Biodiversity
High impact83%
With 3 different species (moderate diversity), this project creates a rich habitat for wildlife. Ecological corridors promote pollination and biological control.
Water
High impact88%
Over 18 ha, vegetation filters water, reduces runoff and erosion, and promotes groundwater recharge.
Soils
High impact89%
With 1270 trees/ha, the root system structures the soil. Litter enriches organic matter and increases water retention.
Socio-economic
High impact84%
This 18 ha project in Frevent supports the local economy: direct jobs, territory enhancement and ecological transition.

🏛️
Method · BOISEMENT
The Low-Carbon Label is an official certification framework from the French Ministry of Ecological Transition. It guarantees that emission reductions are real, measurable, verifiable and additional.
How it works:
1. The project owner submits a file describing the reference and project scenarios.
2. The difference gives net emission reductions in CO₂ equivalent.
3. An independent auditor verifies the data in the field.
4. The ministry issues the Label and carbon credits are issued.
5. The project is monitored with periodic verifications.
