BAIE-COMEAU, QC, Sept. 27, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - The ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP) is informing the population that, given the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of a forestry permit for the harvest of firewood for domestic purposes will be mailed for the 2021-2022 season.
Those wishing to obtain a permit can apply through the interactive online map at https://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/boisdechauffage, under the Côte-Nord section, or by contacting the staff in our offices by phone. Please note that that no permit will be issued in person. Payments can only be made by check or money order.
This permit allows people to harvest a maximum of 22.5 m3.
The permit is valid until March 31, 2021.
The MFFP reiterates that it is mandatory to hold a permit to harvest firewood in public forests. Like all other forestry operations, this activity is subject to strict rules aimed at ensuring the protection of forest resources.
