From February 26 to march 26, 2018, the MRC Pontiac invites the public to examine and comment on the OIFMP 2018-2023 Version 2 for Outaouais public lands.
Content of the 2018-2023 OIFMP
The plan presents the potential sectors of public land where non-commercial forestry operations such as thinning, cleaning, plantation maintenance and pruning may be carried out in regenerating stands.
No further consultation for these areas will be offered prior to the commencement of the work. It is therefore important that your concerns of any kind be raised during this consultation period.
