For Amphibians & Humans

The City of Terrebonne wanted to provide the site with reception facilities to ensure that the site’s frequentation by curious visitors and ornithologists would be in line with the park's protected area status.

RESIDENT BIRDS, FISH & AMPHIBIANS The Ruisseau de Feu conservation park project is one of the most important restoration projects in Quebec. It is a migration site for many bird species and a spawning ground for fish and amphibians that frequent the Rivière des Prairies.

A RESPECTED NATURAL HABITAT Imagined by Projet Paysage, the development project aims to preserve the natural habitats present and to improve the use of the environment by wildlife by offering a quality habitat to the species that cohabit here.

ORNITHOLOGISTS & PHOTOGRAPHERS WELCOME Frequented by ornithologists and photographers as much as by the population for recreational purposes, the City of Terrebonne wanted to provide the site with reception facilities and develop marked trails and walkways and build both a shelter allowing site interpretation and an observation tower covering the swamp, the marsh and the river banks.

A PUNCTUATED ROUTE The discovery trail is punctuated with interpretive steles to enrich and become aware of the places. A place to discover!

JURY’S KUDO

«This quite exceptional project gives dignity to the park and offers a unifying and generous reception building at the height of the majestic nature to be explored. Its strength lies in the harmony created between the architectural elements and the surrounding forest. Wonderful! »
