Sustainable forest management has been a core element in the forest management process for more than a decade. The Sustainable Forest Development Act, adopted in March 2010, introduces a new forest regime that represents a significant step forward in this respect.
The Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune (MRNF) would like to know the population’s opinion of two key elements of the new forest regime:
- The sustainable forest management strategy
- The proposals for the future sustainable forest management regulation
To take part in the consultation process:
- Read the consultation documents
- Attend the information meetings that will be held in every region of Québec
- Send us your comments by answering the questions raised in the consultation document, by January 28, 2011.
The MRNF will produce a report to inform you of the consultation results. It will be published on the MRNF’s website during the spring of 2011.
Based on the comments it receives, the MRNF will then finalize the sustainable forest management strategy and draft the new sustainable forest management regulation.
