As a laureate of the 2020 call for projets on the theme of “solutions to climate change in France”, the Arboretum’s mission is to preserve tree essences in the face of such climate change. The Foundation finances the Arboretum and provides skills patronage thanks to volunteer setec employees for missions such as buildings renovation, administrative support, legal advice…

 

Visit with setec employees

 

The first event was an initiative by Laurie Avrillaud, employee at setec organisation and skills patron for the Arboretum. She managed to organize a full day of activities on the site of the Arboretum for setec willing setec employees, allowing them to discuss the objectives of the association’s project and its stakes. They also witnessed the advances in the project thanks to Laurie’s experience with it from the beginning.
