History
The Groupement forestier des Cantons originated from the merger in 2022 of the two forestry groups, Aménagement forestier et agricole des Sommets (1978) and Groupement Forestier du Haut-Yamaska (1978). The establishment of each of these two forestry groups came from the desire of the forest landowners to develop their woodlots. With a modest beginning of 75 owners interested in forestry, the group has grown to nearly 2,200 members.
