Le programme d'aide à l'aménagement des ravages de cerfs de Virginie (PAAR) poursuit trois grands objectifs : conserver les peuplements résineux et mélangés qui servent d'abris aux cerfs; aménager ces peuplements par des coupes forestières qui favorisent leur maintien ou accélèrent leur croissance; sensibiliser les propriétaires de boisés privés au potentiel de leurs terres comme habitats fauniques et les aider à mettre en valeur ce potentiel. Ce programme a été élaboré en harmonie avec les intervenants du milieu forestier. Il est complémentaire au Programme d'aide à la mise en valeur des forêts privées des agences forestières régionales. Aux subventions déjà existantes en vertu de ce programme, le PAAR ajoute une aide financière supplémentaire pour certains travaux sylvicoles bénéfiques à l'habitat du cerf et pour la confection d'un plan d'aménagement forestier. 3, record 5, French, - Programme%20d%27aide%20%C3%A0%20l%27am%C3%A9nagement%20des%20ravages%20de%20cerfs%20de%20Virginie
