Starting November 16, 2026, forestry work will be carried out near Lac de Saint-Pardoux to secure areas affected by the July storm and the identification of weakened trees.

Following a violent storm with hail and strong winds that hit northern Haute-Vienne on July 16, 2026, many trees were uprooted near the lake. A phytosanitary diagnosis also revealed trees whose health requires cutting and safety interventions.
This work follows the initial emergency operations conducted after the storm to address situations posing an immediate risk to the public.
A specialized company will work for approximately two weeks, starting November 16, to fell and process the affected trees. The objective is to secure forest areas and minimize risks for walkers, in line with good forest management practices and considering evolving climatic conditions.
During the entire intervention period, walkers are asked to respect the signage and instructions put in place on the site to ensure the safety of the public and the teams.
