Last Friday, we were invited in Pozières, in Northern France, wellknown to Australians and Brits because of the costly fightings that took place in the area in 1916. There is a project of planting a memorial avenue, and we are happy of this outcome of our symposium "Tree avenues - from war to peace". ALLÉES-AVENUES /allées d'avenir/ was invited at this meeting with main officials, who showed their great interest in this project. Our managing director Chantal Pradines could  explain why planting trees along a main road is not a road safety issue (just check the studies).
