Released in theaters on February 23, the film Le Chêne Le Chêne of Laurent Charbonnier and Michel Seydoux has already captivated tens of thousands of viewers.

 

This documentary is a true celebration of the forest, offering an intimate look at a 210-year-old oak and its many inhabitants. The result is both luminous and breathtaking!

 

As a partner of the film’s production team, the ONF has simultaneously launched an initiative to raise awareness among schoolchildren about forest preservation. Using a fun and illustrated educational kit, ONF teams have been engaged from January to June 2022 to conduct environmental awareness activities in elementary school classes in Île-de-France and Loir-et-Cher.
