Forestry work in Estrie - Public Consultations on Wood Harvesting and Forestry Activities

The Department is interested in learning about the concerns of forest users related to planned forest activities.

During this period, the public is invited to comment on potential new forest operation zones, specifically regarding:

1. Potential forest operation zones (secteurs d'intervention potentiels) (SIPs) for commercial and non-commercial silvicultural work (timber harvesting, field preparation, reforestation, plantation maintenance and pre-commercial thinning);
   
   
2. Main roads and infrastructure to be constructed or improved where development activities are considered.

Interested parties may view the Estrie Operational Integrated Forest Management Plan (PAFIO) documents and provide comments online until 11:59 p.m. on December 5 2022, at Québec.ca/consultations-foret-estrie.

Virtual information sessions will also be held in collaboration with the TGIRT Estrie. Representatives will discuss plans covered by the public consultation, exchange with participants, and answer questions.
