1 PARC NATIONAL DE LA GASPÉSIE DISCOVERY GUIDE 2018

2 WELCOME TO THE PARK This sea of mountains has been chiselled by glaciers and is festooned with stone fields, high plateaus, ridges and deep valleys. The wildlife and flora evoke thoughts of the Arctic. Parc national de la Gaspésie is an exceptional hiking destination in Quebec. It was established in 1937 to permanently protect the endangered Gaspésie caribou and to preserve the beauty of Mont Albert, the McGerrigle Mountains and the salmon in Rivière Sainte-Anne. The park s high-altitude peaks have a signicant effect on local climate and landscape, giving rise to a rich diversity of species unique to Québec and even the world. Arctic-alpine plants and tundra landscapes are the preferred habitat of the park s herds of caribou, which represents the last of their species south of the Fleuve Saint-Laurent Immoderation greets the eye in all directions. Find out more at sepaq.com/gaspesie RANGI THE CARIBOU THE GASPÉSIE CARIBOU: PARK EMBLEM As the main reason for creating Parc national de la Gaspésie, this noble ambassador reflects the ecological integrity of the Gaspésie mountains. Designated as a severely endangered species, the Gaspésie caribou is closely tied to a mountain range of coniferous forest, which provides plentiful food and shelter. Although herd numbers are low, you can spot them quite easily, especially on Mont Jacques-Cartier. ANNUAL QUÉBEC NATIONAL PARKS CARD Québec s national parks offer a one-of-a-kind experience. Explore this exceptional world of nature with the Annual Québec National Parks Card, featuring: Unlimited access to ALL national parks for 12 full months Many exclusive benefits, including a free night of camping Details at sepaq.com/parkscard 2

3 MUST-DOS SUR LA PISTE DES CARIBOUS Discover the woodland caribou of the Parc national de la Gaspésie by observing them and collecting field data in the company of a knowledgeable park warden-naturalist. With our Grand air (Great Outdoors) and Grand confort (Great Comfort) packages, you re sure to have a great experience helping to protect this unique and endangered population. Activity fee. A MONT JACQUES-CARTIER With some of the best caribou habitat in the Gaspésie and reaching 1,270 metres in elevation, Mont Jacques-Cartier is a true change of scenery. The alpine climate and vegetation brings the experience of the Far North to southern Québec. The threatened woodland caribou population lives out much of its life cycle above the timberline on these mountains. B MONT ERNEST-LAFORCE This hike gives easy access to the area s most beautiful panoramas. The views of the Mont Albert plateau and the Vallée du Diable are breathtaking. Surrounded by a sea of mountains, you can identify the main hikeable peaks. This trail is one of the best places to see moose, as it leads through the heart of their habitat. C LAC CASCAPÉDIA The largest lake in the park has much to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Early in the season, anglers appreciate the lake s cold waters for brook trout and Arctic char fishing. Starting June 23, visitors can also enjoy water sports on the lake. Rent a canoe, paddle boat, recreational kayak or paddle board at the on-site rental facility, then head out to explore the lake s four kilometres and observe the wildlife on its shores. D MONT OLIVINE (SNOWSHOES) This hike leads to the most beautiful panoramas in this sector of the park, with great views of the Mont Albert plateau, the Vallée du Diable and the Rivière Sainte-Anne valley. The view of Mont Albert is really worth it. E LAC AUX AMÉRICAINS (SKIS) A true delight, the scenery around the Lac aux Américains is among the most beautiful in the Parc national de la Gaspésie. After a 10-kilometre jaunt on cross-country skis, you ll find a landscape sculpted by glaciers thousands of years ago. This is definitively one of the best crosscountry skiing trails in the park!

12 CONSERVE FOR TOMORROW ENVIRONMENTAL DNA, A REVOLUTIONARY TOOL Our mission is to permanently protect the species that call the park home. But to do so, we need to thoroughly understand them, so our actions won t compromise their survival or the ecosystems they use. Studying components of the environment can be very labour-intensive, but now, by collecting and carefully analysing the DNA in water samples, we can determine whether a species is present. This technique is being used to detect Barrow s Goldeneye nesting around almost-inaccessible lakes high in the Chic-Chocs. To find out more: nos-references/ (French only) To protect them, we need to thoroughly understand them, so our actions won t compromise their survival or the ecosystems they use. IT S OFFICIAL: THE GOLDEN EAGLE BREEDS IN THE PARC NATIONAL DE LA GASPÉSIE. Nesting of the golden eagle within the territory of the park was confirmed on June 16, Since then, we ve made new discoveries, such as finding a new nest in the Mont Albert sector in The story of this species is just one example of our park wardens constant efforts to improve our knowledge of the park s natural heritage and share it with our visitors. It is just one of the many wonderful treasures you can discover in this magnificent park. To learn more, take part in Des trésors à partager, a fun discovery activity. 12

13 WE RE RESTORING THE HOME OF THE CARIBOU Caribou are known to be highly sensitive to habitat disturbance. Over the years, the forest has become younger and more fragmented, changing the habitat and making it more suitable for other species, particularly coyotes and moose. A major road closure project was started in 2017 and will be completed this year. No less than 35,000 trees will be planted to restore a portion of the caribou s home. Over the years, the forest has become younger and more fragmented, changing the habitat and making it more suitable for caribou predators. EFFECTIVE ACTION? Habitat preservation is widely acknowledged to be the key to the survival of endangered species. To find out whether efforts to restore the habitat of the Gaspésie caribou are truly effective, a monitoring program has been developed and implemented in Several dozens of surveillance cameras will be distributed across the park s territory to quantify how the restored and unrestored roads are used, particularly by caribou predators. Habitat preservation is widely acknowledged to be the key to the survival of endangered species. HURRAY FOR TECHNOLOGY! The Gaspésie caribou population has been monitored annually since Every year, a helicopter flies over the park to estimate the number of individual animals. The Mont Logan area is highly forested, making it very difficult to see and count the caribou there. However, based on known parameters such as the speed of caribou movements and the area covered by the 60 surveillance cameras, we can accurately estimate the number of caribou. CAMERA 1 06 JUL :22 pm The Gaspésie caribou population has been monitored annually since We currently estimate the population at 75 individuals. 13
