The boreal forest covers more than half of Canada. It is one of the largest forest ecosystems on the planet, and home to thousands of wildlife species. Quebec’s boreal forest is a broad shield of conifers covering 761,000 square kilometers, half the size of Quebec. Black spruce is the most widespread tree species, but jack pine, balsam fir, white spruce and tamarack are also found, as are hardwoods such as maple, sugar maple, white birch, trembling aspen, oak and basswood. <\/p>\n

The varied fauna includes some 30 mammals such as beaver, red fox, coyote, wolf, mink, white-tailed deer, caribou, moose, black bear, muskrat, hare and deer mouse. More than 150 species of birds nest here, including the pileated woodpecker, great gray owl, several varieties of hawk, owls and ducks. There are also tens of thousands of insects and spiders. <\/p>\n

Duration: 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on trail. Difficulty levels vary. <\/p>\n
