Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Table containing surface generators linked to Grade A7 easements in the Oriental Pyrenees

Category A7 easements concern easements relating to so-called protection forests. The following may be classified as protective forests, for reasons of public utility: — woods and forests the conservation of which is recognised as necessary for the maintenance of land on mountains and slopes, protection against avalanches, erosions and flooding of waters and sands; — woods and forests located on the periphery of large agglomerations; — woods and forests located in areas where maintenance is necessary either for ecological reasons or for the well-being of the population. Protection forests shall be subject to a special forestry regime, in particular as regards management and operating rules, the exercise of grazing and user rights, excavations and extractions of materials and the research and exploitation of the water resource by public authorities or their delegates. Classification as a protective forest prohibits any change in land use or land use that would compromise the conservation or protection of afforestation. This resource describes the surface generators of Grade A7 easements, i.e. forests classified as protective forests.
