MrGutz Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Quick Tranlation Ownership: The Faribault is a piece of land with an area of 4,400 hectares, is the sole owner SERV. This territory, located in the heart of the Gaspé Peninsula, has been given to a Senior Officer of Canadian Pacific (political gift) to the late 19th century. The land was then resold to the company Madawaska Corporation, and later to Lacroix Lumber. In 1954, the property is sold at Cyprian Belanger Limited and, by succession, becomes the property of Gerard Belanger Limited. The Bloc Faribault since 1977 is the exclusive property of the holding company of Valley Resource Inc.. Historic use of the territory: Virgin territory until the early 1950s, logging, harvesting only, has been the focus of land use in the years 1950 to 1965. At this harvest activity, was also paired up on the work of sawing wood. In periods of intense activity around 300 workers "lived" the Faribault. At that time the harvesting was mostly done during the winter season. In the early days of using chain saws and even "hand saw" the timber was felled, skidded with horses and piles of round logs were then transported to the towpath by carts pulled by a tractor with caterpillar , then to the mill located along the river Grounding. Wood processing was performed by a factory operating at the "steam", effective for the time. Is also grafted to the plant, equipment and buildings to support the work of sawing (pond dipping the log burner, waste, filing, garage, office, etc.). With 300 workers on site, the organization accommodation for these workers required a lot of equipment (huge dormitory with heated tap water, bedding) and staff (cook, kitchen helpers, servants). At wildlife, hunting was carried out based on the needs of private business ownership during the years of housing land. Upon the acquisition of territory by SERV, it began a business of moose, an activity that took place from 1978 to 1985. In 1986 SERV leased territory in Adventure Rock Roy for carrying out the moose. Since 2000, SERV operates an integrated forest activities, wildlife and recreational under the trade name of the outfitter, Faribault, Country Giants.
