Farmers in Lot-et-Garonne with projects to create or restore hedgerows and tree-lined areas can benefit from the departmental program renewed for 2027. This initiative aims to support farms in a demanding agricultural context, highlighting the multiple benefits of hedgerows for plots, such as crop protection, water management, and biodiversity support.
The financial aid scheme offered by the Departmental Council is designed to be administratively simple. It includes a basic departmental aid ranging from €3 to €3.20 per plant. Local supplements are also available depending on the farm's territory.
Farms located in Val de Garonne Agglomération (VGA) or the Agglomération d'Agen can receive additional aid: + €3 per plant for the Agenais area and + €2 to €3 per plant for the Marmandais area.
In addition to financial aid, the program offers tailored technical support. This support includes advice on choosing suitable species, optimizing planting, and ensuring the successful establishment of the plants.
It is advisable to prepare your application and confirm your eligibility without delay. Advisors from the Chambre d'Agriculture and their partners (ACMG, FDC47) are available to assist farmers in realizing their projects.
