<\/h4>\nExplanations<\/h4>\n
Sections 28<\/a> and 30<\/a> to 32<\/a> allow a person to carry out certain forest development activities (e.g. partial cutting and construction of a structure to cross a watercourse) in the strip of woodland alongside a wetland or aquatic environment. However, in a white-tailed deer yard, all forest development activities are prohibited in the first 20 metres of the strip of woodland alongside an open peat bog with a pond, a marsh, a riparian shrub swamp, a lake or a permanent watercourse.<\/p>\n<\/h4>\nAdditional information<\/h4>\n
It is important to note that the definition of the term \u201cforest development activity\u201d in section 2<\/a> of the Regulation means that the standards set out in sections 3<\/a>, 5<\/a>, 19 to 22<\/a>, 47<\/a>, 50<\/a>, 52<\/a>, 54<\/a>, 55<\/a>, 57<\/a> and 59<\/a> do not apply to the repair, maintenance or closure of forest roads or to the control of fires, insect epidemics and cryptogamic diseases.<\/p>\nIt should also be noted that section 53<\/a> of this Regulation allows certain forestry permit holders to carry out forest development activities in a white-tailed deer yard in the first 20 metres of the strip of woodland alongside an open peat bog with a pond, a marsh, a riparian shrub swamp, a lake or a permanent watercourse. Section 53<\/a> also allows for the construction, improvement or repair of a road. Section 53<\/a> clarifies the conditions of authorization.<\/p>\nThe term \u201cwhite-tailed deer yard\u201d refers to an area where white-tailed deer gather in winter. The terms \u201cconcentration area\u201d and \u201cwintering area\u201d (\u201cravage\u201d in French) are also commonly used to refer to a white-tailed deer yard. If the white-tailed deer population is to be maintained in Qu\u00e9bec, access to good quality wintering areas is essential.

<\/a>\u00a0(available in French) was prepared to help forest managers improve the quality of white-tailed deer winter habitats when drawing up development plans in deer yards. Among other things, the Guide sets out development principles for deer yards to help ensure that travel corridors and canopy components offering shelter and food are maintained when forestry activities are carried out.<\/p>\n
