It's a topographic map, it can remind wood too.
I cropped the pattern to something balanced.
If you look closely you can see the D and the S (initials of Départ de Sentier) in the lines, at the beginning I wanted to show this a bit more with dotted lines, but it was a bit too much in my opinion.
I prefered to keep the logo simple.
The shades of green represent the forest and nature of course, and to accentuate the technical and scientific skills, I chose darker and a bit desaturated palette.
It creates a more professional look. I also added a baseline because your name is a little unconventional. We can modify it or remove it if you think it's unecessary. (removed)
A word on the typography, i wanted a rounded typeface (but not too much) for the warm and human side, the larger x-height gives an open readability even in small sizes, in full caps it brings some stability.
