Why was a crane boat transporting pieces of trees on the river, in Mayenne, Monday November 18? According to the departmental council of Mayenne, it allows “the maintenance of the riparian forest (forest on the banks of a watercourse), which we have been carrying out for three years, to remove diseased trees (alders and ash trees)”.
This interview is carried out by the Belbéoc'h company, which works for the Department. For this, it uses a 40 m barge3the Nominative whose“crew is made up of a captain, a crane operator, a lumberjack on the barge and a pruner climber on the bank”, writes the company on its website.
A river workshop
“We have developed a river workshop, capable of intervening from the waterway, continues Belbéoc’h. The interest is to be able to carry out maintenance campaigns for the tree heritage located on the banks of our rivers without impacting the fragile environment of the area. »
The Department specifies that Belbéoc'h “intervenes from Fourmondière (Monflours) to Mayenne” et “will then descend on the reaches of Cumont to La Fosse”.
