Parc-nature du Bois-de-Liesse

The Bois-de-Liesse nature park, in its century-old Bois-Francs forest, provides a choice habitat for several species of plants and animals. It is therefore an ideal place to observe nature.

Parc-nature de l'Île-de-la-Visitation

In the heart of the Sault-au-Récollet, this nature park is full of historical elements as evidenced by the ruins of the mill, the Maison du Pression and the Maison du Meunier. Moreover, this easily accessible natural environment is ideal for spotting birds, including the Baltimore oriole, the great blue heron, the black-crowned night heron, etc.

Parc-nature de la Pointe-aux-Prairies

At the crossroads of the Back River and the St. Lawrence River, this green oasis in an urban setting is made up of a wide variety of ecosystems: marshes, fields and forests. It is home to the white-tailed deer and more than 180 species of birds, including the great horned owl, the green heron and the Cooper's hawk.
