Spring discovery activities
- Les étangs-surprises (Ponds and their surprises) (the weekends of April 16, 23 and 30 at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.)
When the birds migrate in the spring, the Grande Presqu'île ponds become full of surprises! Using a telescope and with a park warden/naturalist by their side, visitors will discover the "newcomers" of the day!
- En quête d'anoures (in search of frogs and toads) (Saturdays from May 21 to June 11 at 7:00 p.m.)
The Parc National de Plaisance abounds with life…and sounds! It is not just birds and insects that sing, but so do frogs and toads. This time, visitors are invited to learn more about these little-known creatures. After a short education session, visitors will leave in a rabaska canoe to listen to and identify them.
- Mystérieuses tortues (Mysterious turtles) (Saturdays from May 7 to June 18 at 1:30 p.m.)
A park warden/naturalist will provide information on the different species found here and provide tips on how to spot them.
