Join us for our November Wilderness Walk at Parc Deshênes along the Ottawa river in Gatineau’s Aylmer sector.
L’Alliance Parc Deschênes (APD) was established in 2020 with a mission of protecting the Deschênes forest and ensuring the conservation of its rich biodiversity. Co-founder and member of APD, Howard Powles has kindly offered to lead the hike, and share some of the beautiful views, forest diversity as well as some history of the park.
Parc Deschênes is also perfectly placed to create an ecological corridor between Forêt-Boucher and eventually Gatineau Park. Being on the shore of the Ottawa River, the park can also be a great location to observe late-fall migrants including ducks and waterfowl, so be sure to bring your binoculars.
