Welcome to Forêt-la-Blanche

The Forêt-la-Blanche Ecological Reserve helps preserve one of Quebec’s last remaining old-growth forests. Managed by the nonprofit organization Les Amis de la Forêt-la-Blanche, the ecological reserve aims to promote education on the conservation of Quebec’s forests and its biological and ecological diversity.

The Forêt-la-Blanche Ecological Reserve is one of the few ecological reserves in Quebec open to the public, and it features numerous trails that are open year-round. Our unique landscapes are sure to leave you speechless!
