Silvicultural Management
Since 2000, the silvicultural management of the Larose Forest is under the jurisdiction of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell. Before, it was in the hands of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
Twice a year, the United Counties proceed with three to four tenders to harvest wood lots.
Management is done according to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards. The United Counties have received help from the Eastern Ontario Model Forest in order to obtain this certification. Income generated is reinvested in the Forest with a primary objective to conserve a natural environment and its economical, environmental and tourist development.

PROTECTION AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Protection and Development Plan for the Larose Forest is a statement of scientific, historical and cultural information created by the Horizon Multiressource firm. This statement will be a tool used to manage the Larose Forest with respect for the environment and the citizens values.
