ARFPC

The Agence régionale de mise en valeur des forêts privées de la Chaudière (ARFPC) supports the development and sustainable management of private forests in its region. Its mission is to guide and promote the productive value of these forests, helping owners and forestry professionals make informed decisions about their land and resources.

ARFPC provides information and practical resources for forest owners, including guidance on becoming a certified forest producer, finding trees, accessing forestry advisers, protecting silvicultural investments, and navigating the enhanced PAF program. The agency also offers training opportunities and forestry information services, including access to the AGIR portal and resources on forest and wildlife management.

Its projects address conservation, habitat and wildlife, as well as the practical work of forestry. Initiatives include voluntary conservation, forest and wildlife management plans, coexistence with fur-bearing animals, deer wintering areas, wood mobilization and operator training, and stream crossings with sediment-source assessments. Through these services and projects, ARFPC helps connect private forest owners, advisers, and forest-sector partners across the Chaudière territory.
