Questions
Yes, if you own a single block of 20 hectares or more, or parcels totalling 20 hectares in the same geographic zone. Isolated parcels below a size set by decree don't count. The minister can set a lower regional threshold between 10 and 20 hectares.
A PSG is not mandatory. You can still choose a voluntary PSG, a code of good forestry practice (CBPS) or a standard management rule (RTG). These documents are required in return for public aid and tax relief.
The forest is placed under administrative authorisation (RAA), so every cut needs authorisation first. Owners must draw up the plan and submit it to the regional centre (CRPF) for approval.
