ランド・ド・ガスコーニュ自然公園は、フランス南西部アキテーヌ地域圏の湿地帯およびマツ林で、ほとんどがカイガンショウという海岸マツです。現在ランドの森を占める大部分は19世紀まで羊飼いが暮らす湿地でしたが、村々を脅かす海岸砂丘の伸張を食い止める目的で植林が進みました。樹脂生産から製紙業へ産業も転換され、今日に至ります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.556: Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park, France🇫🇷

Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park is a protected area of pine forest, wetland and oceanic coastline located in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of southwestern France. The roughly triangular area of the modern-day park was originally an inland sea which had receded, leaving a mostly infertile depression which did not attract human habitation. Largescale public works helped drain, clear, and reforest the area during the nineteenth century but the transformation was limited. By the mid-twentieth century, government attention had turned to protecting the natural environment.

The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
