Did you know that the BEFORE PARC DES LAURENTIDES

hunted and fished. Then, the era of fishing clubs began in 1890, with the founding

territory celebrates 125
years of history this year. 1895 – CREATION OF THE PARC DES LAURENTIDES
The Parc des Laurentides was created in 1895, becoming protected by
government law and reserved for groups of visitors who rented portions of the
territory to practice their activities. Fishing, hunting and lumbering are than
allowed, but monitored. The presence of caribous in the Grands-Jardins, their
favorite habitat, would have justified the inclusion of this territory in the Parc des
Laurentides.
Private clubs hire guides and guardians of territory, many of whom were
woodsmen and natives. They accompany fishermen and hunters, most of them
from the elite of English Canada and the United States, and eventually from
Quebec. With the passage of time and the decline of the caribou population at
the beginning of the 20th century, fishing became the favorite sport of an ever
growing clientele, especially since the park abounds in lakes and rivers that are
populated with native trouts.
FROM « PETIT PARC » TO GRANDS-JARDINS
The Parc des Laurentides was subdivided with the arrival of the Montmorency
Thomas-Louis Fortin and Edgar Côté
Teaching Forest in 1963. Then, in 1981, three separate management units were
at La Roche, around 1955.
created: The Réserve faunique des Laurentides, the Parc national de la Jacques-
Cartier and the Parc national des Grands-Jardins. The latter, formerly nicknamed
“Petit Parc” or “les Jardins” becomes a park dedicated to conservation, with the
CELEBRATE THE 125TH WITH US! primary mission of protecting the taiga, an exceptional ecosystem at our latitude.
Consult our special 125th anniversary program. Even today, the Grands-Jardins amazes with its singular beauty that we continue
to protect and make accessible to our amazed visitors.
12CONSERVE FORWARNED IS FOREARMED
Did you know that earthworms are invasive species that have an impact on our
FOR TOMORROW forests? Their activities contribute to the disappearance of the forest litter layer
and modify the structure and chemistry of the soil, the habitat of a multitude of
organisms. Fishermen, avoid spreading earthworms. Return unused worms to
your containers, or throw them in the trash. Make no mistake, a worm thrown
in water can end up on the shore rather than drowning.
EARTHWORMS AND CLIMATE
Could there be a link between earthworms and climate changes? Worms feed
on plant debris and their droppings are more easily broken down by microbes
and fungi, which then release CO2. Justine Lejoly, doctoral student in soil
biogeochemistry led by Dre Quideau of University of Alberta, is leading a project
at the Grands-Jardins to better understand the invasion of earthworms in the
boreal forest and the implications for stocks of carbon in the soil. Research will
continue this Summer.
HAPPINESS IS IN THE NEST
Last year, our technical park warden discovered a colony
of great blue herons, well hidden on an island. She had
counted more than 30 young and 12 nests. These data
made it possible to formalize the area as a protected
“wildlife habitat”. Great Blue Heron nesting sites are very
fragile to disturbance and rather rare in Quebec. This new
observation is very important, it represents the only active
heronry listed in the Capitale-Nationale region.
