The Chief Canadian Forest Office maps show that most of the stands have a high volume to be removed.
The area has an established hydrographic network : lakes (that alone cover 357 hectares) and rivers, but also many streams that cross the region.
Wetlands with a High Environmental Value account for 550 hectares.
A wide variety of plant and wildlife resources
