Planning Unit (UA)

The planning unit (UA) is a territorial reference unit that applies to forest territories in the domain of the State under article 13 of the Sustainable Forest Development Act (LADTF).

There are currently 57 AU on Quebec's public forest territory. The sustainable forest management strategy provides guidelines and objectives for sustainable forest management for this forest area. The purpose of this delimitation of forest territory is to define areas for the production of resources. Thus, the Minister can grant various forest rights in this territory, such as guarantees of supply (GA), harvesting permits in order to supply a commercial wood processing plant (PRAU), harvesting permits in order to supply a non-commercial wood processing plant, i.e. forest biomass (PRBIO), permits for maple syrup farms (mixed production), permits for blueberry fields (forests) blueberry), mining rights permits (mining concessions) and legal protections for the forests of experimentation (FE).

This AU delimitation has been in force since April 1, 2023 and comes from the MRNF STF system, which is the official source of this geographic information.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
