【 About "Forest Destination," a forest regeneration program 】
With its Forest Destination program, Hennessy is pursuing on-the-ground projects in all the regions where the Maison is present. In France, Hennessy is working with the Office National des Forêts (ONF) to replant 27,055 oak saplings across an area of 25 hectares (250,000 square meters) in Braconne in the Charente region, which was devastated by a storm in 1999. Worldwide, Hennessy began a partnership in 2020 with Reforest’Action to take action in local ecosystems in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria, as well projects in China and the United States. In Kenya, Hennessy and its local partner Trees for Kenya are supporting the reforestation of part of the protected forest on Mont Kenya by planting 250,000 trees of 30 different species over 400 hectares. In the United States, Hennessy has committed to replanting 100,000 trees across a 93-hectare area to promote the return of biodiversity and create new local wildlife habitats in the state of Oregon, whose forests have been ravaged by fires. And in Madagascar, Hennessy is working with local partners to build a “School of the Forest” to train young farmers and heighten awareness among schoolchildren. The Maison will support planting of 60,000 saplings of various species in a 40-hectare area.
