What Société Sylvicole Chambord ltée does

Société Sylvicole Chambord ltée (SSC) is a private Québec-based forestry services company founded on May 14, 1974, and organized as a forestry groupement (forestry group) owned by more than 1,170 private woodland owners. The company delivers forest management and logging services on both private and public lands in the Lac-Saint-Jean and Saguenay regions of Québec. On the private side, SSC operates as the mandated delivery agent accredited by the Agence régionale de mise en valeur des forêts privées du Lac-Saint-Jean for the Programme de mise en valeur des forêts privées, a government subsidy program that channels financial assistance to eligible private forest owners for silvicultural work. On the public side, SSC provides forest management services for Rexforêt on public forest territories.

The company's core service portfolio spans the full silvicultural value chain: ground preparation using a fleet of seven T26 scarifiers and three 32-inch disc forest harrows; reforestation with a planting capacity of approximately 5 million seedlings per year, supported by IT tools for plant provenance tracking; pre-commercial and commercial thinning; wood harvesting and transport; forest road maintenance; forest drainage; and camp management. Technical forestry services include mapping, agroforestry projects, forest evaluation, professional training, and multi-resource management planning using GIS and geomatic technology. SSC holds ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification, continuously maintained since 2003.

SSC operates through three subsidiaries: Société Sylvicole du Saguenay ltée (acquired 2000), extending services into the Saguenay territory; Location SSC (created 2003), providing turnkey temporary forest camp rental and operation services with 225-person accommodation capacity for forestry, mining, and construction sectors; and Landes Forestières Uapats (majority-owned since 2015), focused on silvicultural execution with an Indigenous partnership mission in Mashteuiatsh. The company manages approximately 8,000 hectares in a single summer and has planted more than 168 million trees since 1974, with a total workforce of more than 150 workers and operators. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
