Silvicultural Management
NOTICE: On September 19, 2016 a selective wood cutting operation will begin on the parcel of land surrounding Henri Latreille Shelter (see picture) kindly refrain yourself from using the trails in that sector during the forestry operation. Everything will be done by November.
Thank you for your collaboration.Since 2000, the silvicultural management of the Larose Forest has been under the jurisdiction of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. Prior to that, it was the responsibility of the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources.
Twice a year, the United Counties proceed with three to four tenders to harvest wood lots.
Since taking ownership of the forest, the United Counties of Prescott and
Russell has obtained the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification
(FSC® C018800) through the Eastern Ontario Model Forest's Forest
Certification Program. The FSC® is an international, membership-based,
non-profit organization that supports environmentally appropriate,
socially beneficial, and economically viable forest management.
