Gironde and Landes: after the fires, reconstruction and fight against the nematode
Late October 2026, after the summer fires, the maritime pine sector in the Landes seeks to rebuild, while six new cases of pine nematode are reported in the Landes and Pyrénées-Atlantiques. In Le Porge, Gironde, victims are still awaiting compensation and permanent rehousing, and emergency work is underway against flood risk; children who inhaled smoke are being treated at the spas of La Bourboule. Late October, victims call on senators to speed up reconstruction, then scientists propose turning pine plantations affected by the fires into a nature reserve. Early November, authorities warn of the nematode risk on burned wood and harvesting is slowed by a sluggish market; tax and financial aid is announced for forest owners. The fires cost up to 563 million euros according to the audit authority, while an association collects acorns for reforestation and a European audit examines the fight against the nematode.
