France 2 airs new episodes of “The Magic of Trees”

Paris – 23 July 2026: France 2 continues the report series “The Magic of Trees” on Sunday, 26 July 2026, in the magazine programme “13h15 le dimanche“. The announced third and fourth episodes take viewers into forests in France, Poland and Gabon. They focus on people who study trees scientifically, protect them or work to preserve them.

The edition builds on the central importance of forests as habitats and resources. It describes how foresters, researchers and committed individuals engage with the complex relationships within forest areas. The focus is not solely on individual old or exceptional trees, but on entire ecosystems and their ability to respond to change.

According to the programme description, the series also addresses the question of how trees are connected to one another and can support each other under certain conditions. The programme places this topic within research into forest communities. It links it to the protection of near-natural forests and the knowledge of local stakeholders.

The locations bring together different forest regions. France represents the report’s European perspective, Poland other forest areas on the continent, and Gabon the tropical rainforests of Central Africa. The programme thus broadens its view beyond national borders and shows that forest protection depends on regional conditions, conflicts over land use and long-term stewardship.

“13h15 le dimanche” is a France 2 report format broadcast after the midday news. The programme combines current affairs and social issues with personal stories. “The Magic of Trees” is listed in the television schedule for broadcast on 26 July 2026; a further repeat is planned for 31 July 2026.

With the new episodes, the format brings a subject to the forefront that goes far beyond mere observation of nature. Forests contribute to biodiversity, water balance and climate protection, while also serving as places of work and living spaces. The report aims to make these different functions visible through specific encounters in France, Poland and Gabon.

The broadcast does not present a new political decision or scientific study, but rather a current environmentally themed television recommendation. What matters is the classification of the series as a documentary approach: it presents the work of people involved with trees and forests and makes the importance of protecting them understandable for different regions.
