Forêt ancienne du mont Wright

The ancient forest of Mont Wright is a protected woodland ecosystem in the Laurentides region featuring mature trees that are decades to centuries old. The site encompasses several kilometers and is accessed through a network of marked trails.

The protected area was established in 1979 following Sydney Wright's testament, establishing it as a preserved woodland. It received official recognition as an exceptional forest ecosystem in 1997.

This woodland serves as a place where visitors connect with Quebec's natural environment through marked trails and interpretive signage.

The woodland is located north of Quebec City and can be explored on foot through trails of varying lengths suited to different abilities. A pavilion and viewing tower provide rest stops and elevated views of the landscape.

Two distinct ancient woodland types grow side by side here, each featuring different tree species that create layers of variation as you walk through the forest. This natural mixing of ecosystems is visible along the trails and adds to the forest's ecological interest.
