2017

Jean-Luc visits the Grands-Jardins National Park, in Charlevoix, Quebec. Here, we find a landscape usually reserved for those of the Far North: the taiga! A naturalist explains the benefits for flora and fauna of a regenerating forest and the formation of the Rocky Mountains. The owner of an emus farm explains the potential complications of breeding. Jean-Luc explores the trails to observe a herd of woodland caribou and the exceptional presence of spruce-lichen stands. He discovers the road of fire which crosses the park and which has shaped today's landscape.
