The Appalaches Private Forest Development Agency (AMVAP) supports private woodlot owners in managing their properties and understanding the forest environment. Serving the regional territory that includes the Bellechasse, Etchemins, L’Islet and Montmagny regional county municipalities, as well as the City of Lévis, the agency helps owners discover the potential of their land and the benefits of responsible forest management.

AMVAP provides information about assistance programs, eligible projects and technical guidance, and helps owners find forestry advisors. Its resources include training, technical fact sheets, reference documents and advice on protecting funded work. The agency also shares information on forest health and biodiversity, including guidance about the eastern spruce budworm, an insect affecting local forests, and updates on invasive buckthorn.

Through its publications, videos, information events and newsletter, AMVAP connects forest owners with practical knowledge and opportunities to learn. Its work is focused on helping people make informed decisions about their woodlots and contribute to the long-term value of the region’s private forests.
