Abstract

Based on the sectoral management experiences to date in Quebec, this article describes the evolution and redefining the role of the structures and how that evolution favors the emergence of new ways of public action. The analysis highlights the diversification of uses and the development of new modes of public administration. In addition to a more decentralized management, the involvement of the MRC allows the establishment of managing projects. The analysis suggests that the reconciliation between the requirements of forest management and the socio-economic reality of the regions is not always easy and there are still many obstacles to the establishment and maintenance of innovative forest management practices . These barriers include cumbersome regulatory framework, the low support offered to MRC by the government, the lack of human and material resources and the low interest shown by the people.
