Territories in the domain of the State over which rights granted include wood volume allocations defined by the Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF). There are different types of rights granted depending on the purpose (s) of use (s): -Supply guarantees (GA), wood harvesting permits to supply a wood processing plant (PRAU), biomass PRAU (PRBIO) and delegation agreements (ED) on the local forest (FP) or on residual forest territories allow forest management activities according to the various documents legal documents issued by the MRNF. -Education and Research Forests (FER) allow forest management activities for teaching and research purposes according to the contract issued by the MRNF. -The Duchesnay Forest Station (STF) allows forest development activities for teaching, research and tourism purposes according to the contract issued by the MRNF. -Territorial management agreements (CGT) on residual forest territories allow forest development activities and land management according to the agreement issued by the MRNF. -Category 1 lands (TC1) are subject to conditional property rights dedicated to Aboriginal nations according to the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement and regulate forest management activities. It is possible to identify the various beneficiaries __of active rights only__, i.e. from the STF_Beneficiaries table. This table is fed by the SYMPA system which establishes forest rights and the volumes allocated to them. Correspondence between a granted territory of law and the beneficiaries is possible by relating the table and the dataset by the territory number (NO_TERRI).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Forest ecosystems located on State property and of particular interest for the conservation of biological diversity, because they are rare or ancient, or because they are home to one or more endangered or vulnerable plant species. Their management is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MNRF) and they may be classified under the Sustainable Forest Development Act (LADTF, chapter A-18.1). Currently, there are 256 classified EFEs. Forest development activities are prohibited on the territory of an exceptional forest ecosystem, except in exceptional cases.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

__The link: *Access the data repository* is available in the*Dataset Details; Additional Information*__ section. The mapping of forest infrastructure corresponds to forest territory from which trees have been removed for infrastructure purposes, for example to install energy transmission lines, agricultural areas or hydroelectric reservoirs, or for purposes other than forest harvesting. The areas included in this map date back to 2003. This map covers almost all of the territory south of the 52nd parallel of Quebec's public and private forest. The information constituting it comes from various sources. For example, the Quebec Topographical Database is used to map the watershed of hydroelectric reservoirs. The minimum mapping area is 0.1 ha.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Basement geology includes information pertaining to isogrades, geological zones, lineaments, regional faults, geological contacts, compilation outcrops, geofiche outcrops, regional folds, outcrop outlines, and structural domains.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The building footprints layer is the result of a data exchange partnership between Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the Government of Quebec. It will be improved as data becomes available. The Government of Quebec, wanting to optimize the use of Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) data acquired in recent years, has partnered with NRCan to extract the polygons of buildings in Quebec. Airborne lidar data from Quebec is processed using automatic extraction algorithms developed by NRCan, which makes it possible to obtain a layer of building footprints as a bird's eye view, in the form of vector polygons. The data is normally broken down by a lidar project. Since the extractions are carried out automatically, no quality control has been carried out on these datasets. Work to improve geometries and improve attributes is currently underway.

Public land allocation consists of defining government guidelines for the use and protection of public land. PATPs help guide the interventions of the various actors in the field by providing them with the bases necessary for integrated management of land and resources in the domain of the State. This strategic approach thus contributes to the harmonious and sustainable development of public territory, while reducing conflicts of use.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This product provides information on the geographic position of ambulance meeting point signs in Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine. The project of ambulance meeting points in public forests was created in the early 2000s. This project made it possible to establish a unique network bringing together ambulance meeting points available for all forest user organizations, such as coordinators of emergency measures plans for forest responders, the Emergency Call Centre for Eastern Quebec Regions (CAUREQ), and first responders from emergency services. The Southeast Forest Management Directorate centralized data from these points a few years after the start of the project. This centralization was carried out with the help of the Regional Operations Sector (SOR) and Rexforêt. It allowed the integration and standardization of data from the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine regions. Traffic signs have been installed on the territory of both regions to indicate the meeting points for paramedics. This vector layer is official and updated annually. It is essential for the safety of forest workers that these data be easily accessible, up-to-date and uniform for the Lower Laurentian and Gaspesian territories. N.B: A file tracking changes to ambulance meeting points can be sent upon request if required.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
