Sustainable Forest Management Program

Through the Programme d’aménagement durable des forêts (PADF), the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) delegates integrated forest resource management responsibilities to all Côte-Nord regional county municipalities (RCMs).

The agreement has several components, enabling the delegated MRCs to set their own regional priorities for targeted action. These may involve sustainable management of residual forest areas under delegated management agreements, work on multi-use roads, or support for sustainable forest management activities.
