Following the appointment of the new Cabinet, the Forest Sector now reports to the ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts, while the Wildlife and Parks Sectors report to the ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte aux changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs.

Summary

The photo-interpretation of the different species that can be found over their full range of possible growing conditions proves to be of great complexity. This guide provides criteria for the identification of commercial coniferous and deciduous tree species based on characteristic shapes, textures and colors that are visible when photo-interpreting digital 3D aerial photos. The task of photo-interpreters, novices or experienced, is thus facilitated. The identification criteria provided in this guide are based on "frame by frame" 20 cm resolution digital aerial photographs.
