FORESTRY

Public Lands

Lauzon has been a long-time partner and trusted resource for the eco-responsible management and harvest of the Canadian crownland forest.

An Eco-Responsible Partner

Our forestry division oversees the company’s planning, third party consultations, supervision and harvest of the Outaouais and Laurentian region’s 210,000m³ annual fibre allocations. 

More than one hundred forestry workers are involved in our logging operations. Operations are conducted in a global ecosystem approach. Focus is on a sustainable development perspective to promote smart acquisition and ensure the development and optimal use of forestry, wildlife and parks in Québec. 

Furthermore, all the interventions we perform ourselves or supervise on the forest floor are conducted in compliance to all laws and regulations in effect as well as to the obligations specified under our current ISO-14001 forest certification.
