In 2017, the step by step methodology for participatory planning was tested at two pilot sites: the upland area of Sault du Baril waterfalls, and the wetlands and mangroves of the lowland coastal area of Gwelan (O’Rouck). The methodology was subsequently revised, taking into account lessons learned from these two pilot sites within the Rivière Froide watershed of Anse-à-Veau.
