Soustraire de la notion de défrichement les parcelles enfrichées conquises par la forêt à la suite d’une déprise agricole

This legislative proposal aims to redefine the legal concept of 'deforestation' in France. It seeks to ensure that land which has naturally returned to forest due to the abandonment of farming is not legally classified as forest land, meaning its subsequent clearing would not be penalized as deforestation. This change primarily affects landowners and farmers who wish to reclaim land that was once agricultural but has since been overgrown by forest.
