A-18.1, r. 0.01 - Regulation respecting the sustainable development of forests in the domain of the State

Section 28 Disposition versions

2018-04-01

28. A maximum partial harvest of 40% of merchantable stems, in the case of stands of the species referred to in Part A of Schedule 2, or 40% of the basal area, in the case of stands of the species referred to in Part B of that Schedule, is however allowed in the strip of woodland if the slope degree is less than 30%.

However, the density of the stand may never be reduced to less than 700 merchantable stems/ha, in the case of stands of the species referred to in Part A of Schedule 2, or the basal area may not be reduced to less than 16 m2/ha, in the case of stands of the species referred to in Part B of that Schedule.

Despite the first and second paragraphs, where the sylvicultural prescription provides for partial cutting in the stand adjacent to the strip of woodland referred to in section 27, the harvest level indicated in the prescription for the adjacent stand then applies to the strip of woodland.

The residual trees in the strip of woodland must be spread evenly to ensure the protection of aquatic environments, riparian areas and wetlands.

Total cutting is prohibited in the strip of woodland.
