Horse-drawn logging at Argenteau

The meticulous restoration of neglected coniferous plots in our Argenteau pilot forest demonstrates that the use of horses is not at all a nostalgic or folkloric idea but, in combination with judiciously calibrated technical resources, constitutes a solution for the future facing certain challenges.
