Description: This tent was a shelter for the surveyors who gathered data in the Restigouche Forest in 1934. They counted and measured trees based on size and quality. Food and equipment were transported by dog sled. Tents were installed where needed. Mr. J. A. Marcoux is seen here getting ready for his meal.
