Provence Model Forest changes leadership! |
|
After nine years as president Philippe Duparchy steps down from Provence Model Forest, with Jean-Laurent Félizia succeeds him, bringing experience as a long-time supporter, mycologist, and Mediterranean biome specialist.

He quickly became a sponsor of the association through his company Mouvements et Paysages, frequently lectured at events, participated in the Art and Design Competition (and won in the Sculpture category), and served on its Development and Administrative Council (representing the Découverte Sainte-Baume association). As Jean-Laurent affirms: “Forêt Modèle de Provence is a human story that connects us”.
