Canopée

Sylvamo and forest NGO Canopée hold talks over clear-felling in Creuse

Sylvamo and the French forest-protection network Canopée met on 30 October 2026 to discuss forestry projects linked to Sylvamo's Saillat-sur-Vienne paper mill near Saint-Junien. The meeting was arranged after about ten Canopée activists blockaded the mill roughly two weeks earlier. Canopée accuses Sylvamo of clear-felling in the Creuse and the wider Limousin; Sylvamo's position was not reported.

Why this mattersNGO action over clear-felling has already led to a mill blockade, showing that wood-sourcing practices can become an operating risk for French paper mills.
