Art. 27 LVLFo · Distance par rapport à la forêt (LFo, art. 17)

1. La distance minimale des constructions et installations par rapport à la forêt doit être fixée en fonction de la situation et de la hauteur prévisible du peuplement. Dans tous les cas, les constructions et installations sont interdites à moins de dix mètres de la limite de la forêt.

2. Dans les zones affectées, lorsque la situation impose une distance supérieure à dix mètres par rapport à la limite de la forêt, le service fixe, après consultation de la commune territoriale, la distance appropriée lors de l'établissement ou de la révision des plans d'affectation.

3. Hors des zones à bâtir, le service, après consultation de la commune territoriale, peut exiger une distance de plus de dix mètres par rapport à la limite de la forêt lorsque les circonstances l'exigent.

4. Des dérogations ne peuvent être octroyées par le service que si la conservation, le traitement et l'exploitation de la forêt ne sont pas compromis et si la protection du site, de la nature et du paysage est assurée. Elles peuvent faire l'objet d'une mention au Registre foncier.

5. Les dérogations peuvent, dans les limites du droit fédéral, être subordonnées à la signature par le bénéficiaire d'une décharge de responsabilité pour le préjudice qu'il pourrait subir du fait de la chute d'arbres ou de parties d'arbres. Cette décharge fait l'objet d'une mention au Registre foncier.
