Chestnut cultivation faces many challenges due to global warming. This orchard will help preserve genetic heritage and the diversity of local varieties, and enable long-term study of how different varieties behave in different climates.
Planted in 2025, this conservation orchard brings together the 65 varieties of the Châtaigne d’Ardèche PDO. It serves as a site for experimentation and monitoring, designed to preserve the diversity of local varieties and support the future of chestnut cultivation in the Ardèche.
This planting project is being carried out in partnership with the Monts d’Ardèche Regional Nature Park, the Ardèche Chestnut PDO and the Chamber of Agriculture.
