In Thann, France, a red gypsum landfill—created as a byproduct of titanium production—was successfully transformed through phytomanagement. Nearly 5,000 trees from 18 species were planted to reduce heavy metal dispersion, enhance evapotranspiration, and stabilize the soil.

This Easter, we wish you a joyful and peaceful time filled with hope renewal, and new beginnings with your loved ones. May this wonderful season inspire us to work for nature’s rebirth, care for our planet, and join forces for a cleaner, healthier world. Happy Easter from the NYMPHE Project Team!
