In application of the second paragraph of article L. 214-121, the forest assets held directly or indirectly by a forest savings company are managed in accordance with one or more approved simple management plans.
If, at the time of acquisition of the assets, no simple management plan has been approved, the forest savings company is required to have one approved within three years. In this case, the société d’épargne forestière undertakes to apply to the forest the regime set out in the decree of 28 June 1930 relating to the conditions for application of article 15 of the finance law of 16 April 1930 until the date of approval of the simple management plan.
Land acquired after the establishment of the simple management plan is the subject of an amendment organising its management.
When the assets of a forest savings company include bare land to be afforested, the company undertakes to reforest it within three years and to apply an approved simple management plan.
