The Cranou forest is home to an arboretum, set up in 2008, extends over 14 hectares and is intended to study global warming. It is freely accessible for walkers. It succeeds the sylvetum created in 1970 by the National Forestry Office and the National Institute of Agronomic Research and which brings together 51 different species of deciduous and coniferous trees, planted there experimentally, in order to study their behavior for the purposes of reforestation in the context of a very humid oceanic climate (average annual rainfall: 1,173 mm) almost constantly (it rains as much in winter as in summer). As part of the arboretum, new species of trees are being planted (such as sweetgums, Douglas fir, Chilean araucaria, arrayans, etc.) and 150 different species are planned for the near future.
