An enchanted forest

The parc-nature du Bois-de-Liesse, with its majestic hardwood forest, is a unique conservation park in an urban landscape. Its diverse ecosystem is home to a number of plants and animals that you can observe, including the American beaver, the map turtle and the flowering rush.

In the wintertime, visitors can stop off at one of the park's reception centres and snuggle up by the fireside. You can also participate in environmental science activities offered by the Groupe uni des éducateurs-naturalistes et professionnels en environnement (GUEPE).
