Last weekend, the Brignoles sawmill was robbed, and Farfadets Wood is at risk of disappearing. Model Forest and its partners are launching crowdfunding.
The Provence Model Forest, created on the initiative of the SUD Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, is committed throughout the year to the sustainable management of forest resources and the development of local resources.
Our member, Nicolas Jezequel, a mobile sawmill in Brignole, had his mobile saw stolen last weekend.
Nicolas finds himself without resources and is facing great difficulty. We call on everyone to join forces to enable them, as soon as possible, to continue their activity by purchasing a sawmill, and to continue their effective and essential work in favor of developing local resources.
” Dear friends,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the theft of our mobile sawmill on July 19th.
We created this activity with the desire to instill a sense of ecology and solidarity by developing the local wood sector in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
For over two years, we have been traveling up and down our beautiful area re-evaluating wood for individuals or professionals like you.
In partnership with associations such as FORÊT MODEL de PROVENCE, PERMABITA or even FIBOIS, we are carrying out a major awareness and redevelopment project by creating a wood yard. This will be dedicated to the sale of local wood and environmentally friendly construction equipment as well as a consignment shop for local artisans.
Meanwhile, we are currently establishing animal traction business for agricultural and forestry works.
But today, the entire future of FARFADETS WOOD in this great adventure is threatened. In fact, it all starts with the mobile sawmill that we no longer have today. This was also our only source of income.
We therefore call upon your generosity to breathe new life into this wonderful project by helping us purchase a new mobile sawmill to save our business and continue our joint venture.
With all our friendship.

Provence Model Forest will do its part to save the sawmill, and we encourage anyone sensitive to local resources to get involved as much as they can, and donations are tax deductible (66% on income tax, 60% on corporate tax). Let's all rise to the occasion.
