The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society - Ottawa Valley Chapter (CPAWS-OV) will organize an event in the area of ZEC Dumoine and Grand Chute in southwestern Quebec. This wilderness area, which is managed by local communities, is attractive in any season of the year due to the beauty of natural landscapes and the richness of pristine biodiversity typical for Canadian boreal forests.
This is a guided tour for mushroom enthusiasts on Sunday, August 13. We'll explore several places in the Gatineau area (crown land) that to see a diversity of mushrooms at this time of the year. We learn how to identify mushrooms and know some basic rules related to their search and picking up. Please, confirm your participation. We'll meet at Parking 17 in Gatineau Park at 9:30 am (this is the exit to Wakefield from Highway 5). From there, we'll drive together to the places of our excursion.
We invite nature enthusiasts to join us to explore several natural areas around Almonte. We hope to visit several types of habitats, including forest, agricultural and open ecosystems.
