The Nuits des Forêts program at the Académie des Forêts
- Vegetable printing workshop with Léa Foucher
June 12 - 7pm to 8:30pm
This workshop brings us closer to the plant kingdom by revealing the powers of plants and adopting more frugal practices. We discover the basics of natural dyeing and the origins of the process, then compose a motif using various stencils before applying iron paint with a brush. The pattern is then revealed by soaking the fabric in a plant decoction, before rinsing and drying. You leave with a unique creation and the keys to "do it yourself" with minimal impact. This workshop puts the spotlight on forgotten textile items, including second-hand cotton handkerchiefs. In addition to hands-on experience, explanations and anecdotes about the plant world punctuate the workshop.
- Workshop for 10 people - minimum age 6

Discover the challenges facing the forest of Fontainebleau with the Office National des Forêts (ONF). This public establishment manages state-owned and community forests, with a mission to protect biodiversity, produce and sell timber, welcome the public and adapt the forest to climate change. The ONF's Environment and Public Services Department deals with issues relating to forest use and the supervision of forest activities, with the aim of preserving the environment while making it accessible to as many people as possible.
- Racines Artivistes with Le Bruit qui Court
June 15 - 3pm to 6pm
Racines Artivistes is a 3-hour workshop that uses collective intelligence to discover and draw inspiration from examples of artivist actions and works, combining political commitment and artistic practice. This workshop, aimed at the general public, creates spaces for exchange and reflection, and is also being developed with structures and collectives as a strategic creation tool.
It's an opportunity to go from the city to the forest in just a few pedal strokes, and to share a convivial moment. So join us for the Nuits des Forêts in Paris, for a fun and natural experience, while raising awareness of the environment.
