The Road Ecology program aims to engage citizens to maintain and restore connections across landscapes, between parks and protected areas. Ensuring ecological integrity of natural ecosystems and preventing the decline of any species in the Ottawa Valley from road constructions and operations is one of our biggest goals.

Southwestern Quebec offers some of the last remaining opportunities to protect large, intact, landscapes. The Dumoine, Noire and Coulonge watersheds are among the last wild and intact watersheds anywhere in southern Canada. Our vision for western Quebec is bold and inspiring – an interconnected network of protected areas centered around the Dumoine, Noire and Coulonge watersheds that fully protect the richness of the landscape, that provide connections between the forests of the Ottawa Valley and the Boreal forest to the north and that provide meaningful jobs and investment to local communities based on ecotourism and sustainable development.
