In January 1998, a severe ice storm seriously damaged private forests in southern Quebec. The federal and provincial governments agreed to implement three special assistance programs for the owners of forests and farmland. On-site application of the government measures has been entrusted to the six agencies for private forest development in the regions affected by the ice storm. The assistance consists mainly of providing eligible owners with training, consulting and technical services and in providing financial support for the restoration and regeneration of heavily damaged forests. Keywords: forest restoration, forest development, forest owner, biodiversity, financial assistance program, agency for private forest development
