Forêt ancienne du mont Wright, Protected forest ecosystem in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, Canada.
The Mont Wright forest spans 1.9 square kilometers, featuring mature yellow birch trees reaching heights of 30 meters in the Laurentides region.
Sydney Wright's testament led to the creation of this protected area in 1979, which gained recognition as an exceptional forest ecosystem in 1997.
The forest serves as an educational site where visitors learn about Quebec's natural heritage through interpretive panels and guided self-tours.
Located 30 kilometers north of Quebec City, the park offers 6.5 kilometers of hiking trails and facilities including a service pavilion and observation tower.
The forest contains two distinct ancient woodland types: maple-beech with yellow birch and yellow birch with fir, where trees reach 270 years of age.
