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 mushroom identification tour to Madawaska Highlands. We will stop in several places to explore the area and search for mushrooms. We'll learn how to identify mushrooms, places where we can pick up mushrooms, and just enjoy the trip to the forest in a beautiful area. We'll talk also about the diversity of mushrooms in Ottawa Valley and about other forest creatures we'll be able to spot.
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.
