A thousand new trees will be planted in Chartres, in Eure-et-Loir. This commitment was made by the Municipality and will be honored by 2026, or by the end of the current mandate, as reported The Parisian. “It is a number that speaks but must not hide the reality: our municipality has always increased the number of trees in the city”Jean-Pierre Gorges, Mayor of Chartres, explained daily.
Twenty areas have been chosen to house these new specimens. In the streets, parks or green spaces, these are the new homes of these “ornamental trees” and these “fruit trees”, explains Maria Jebli-Chedeville, deputy mayor responsible for the Eco-city approach. 700 specimens (cherry, quince, pear, plum, etc.) will allow the inhabitants of Chartres to collect fruit legally. Something to please the fans of wild harvesting and offer islands of freshness to the population.
11,000 trees are already present on the territory of the city of Chartres, recently put in the spotlight for another case of chestnut trees at risk of being cut down. Finally, as reported The Parisian, the three trees were saved by the administrative court of Orleans. With great joy, one imagines, activists have mobilized on the ground to protect them.
