    With cultivated areas and urbanised spaces, the The Bois de Lauzelle is an ecological corridor and a refuge area for many animal and plant species. It is one of the region's last biodiversity reservoirs, which maintains and develops a wide range of various indigenous tree species (including beech, oak and ash, as well as a variety of conifers). The forestry policy carried out at the Bois de Lauzelle since 1976 has made it possible to keep intact the diversity of its flora, fauna and forest settlement and has ensured their integrity and protection. This biodiversity guarantees the development of a rich herbaceous flora that has a positive effect on the fauna.
