Better understand the boreal forest for an afternoon: that’s what we offer you with this activity that will awaken your senses throughout a territory that is both wild and fragile in contact with our experienced guides.

Your afternoon will begin with black bear watching (“Okwari” in Mohawk). Take advantage of this silent moment to discover this animal in its natural state. The observation will take place from a watchtower fitted out especially for this purpose and with the greatest respect for the animals.

This first part will be followed by a complementary interpretation activity (different each day). These activities are an opportunity to better understand the environment in which the black bear lives. They will take place either in guided hikes on our trails or in rabaska (nautical activity).

Finally, a shuttle service will accompany you to the reception of the Center Plein Air Bec-Scie at 4:00 p.m.

Every day from Monday to Sunday: Interpretation and observation of the black bear
