Management & Operating Plans

Forest management is now a multi-resource management commitment for all stakeholders. All natural resources and societal expectations need to be taken into consideration to achieve biodiversity objectives and sustainable harvest levels.

Timber Supply

Long-term planning of fiber supply (pulp & paper industry) and timber supply (saw-mill industry) by including constraints such as wildfire, ice stroms, insect & disease epidemic, etc...in supply calculations based on recent inventory and aerial photography / satellite imagery interpretation.
Annual Harvesting Plans Long-term management plans are broken down into annual operating plans in which harvest blocks are assigned to operators.
Annual Silviculture Plans Silviculture treatments are targeted in forest stands requiring intervention. These are identified throught a multitude of field assessments.

Wildlife Management

Various species such as White tailed deer require special habitat management in Eastern Canada as their natural domains overlap with potential harvesting areas and need shelter from the often-rigorous Canadian winters. Harvesting techniques and objectives are then modified to ensure that timber harvesting will be done to preserve habitat integrity or improve habitat conditions, if need be.
