Draft operational or special forest management plans submitted for public consultation

Operational Integrated Forest Management Plans (PAFIO) contain areas where wood harvesting and other forest management activities (e.g. non-commercial silvicultural work and roads) are planned in accordance with tactical plans. They are updated on a regular basis. A special management plan (PAS) can also be prepared in order to recover wood and plan the return to production of areas affected by a natural or human disturbance. Updates and changes to the PAFIOs are subject to public consultation when a new intervention area or infrastructure is added to the plan or when an intervention area, infrastructure, or forest management standard identified in the plan is modified. Citizens and organizations can then express their opinion on these new planning intentions. The PASs are also subject to public consultation when the minister considers that their implementation is not urgent. Following public consultations, the Minister adjusts and specifies the development activities that he or she integrates into the plans, as required, before they are implemented. The data provided below correspond to the preliminary versions of PAS and draft updates or changes to PAFIO as they were at the time of the public consultations.
