Sensitive areas

Along your trek, you will go through sensitive areas related to the presence of a specific species or environment. In these areas, an appropriate behaviour allows to contribute to their preservation. For detailed information, specific forms are accessible for each area.

A quiet zone is not a legally mandated area; rather, it refers to areas considered conducive to the activities of sensitive species that have a critical need for quiet (feeding, migration, reproduction, giving birth, raising young, hibernation, and seeking mates).

Adopt the 5 “Quiétude Attitude” best practices and help preserve the peace and quiet of wildlife!

No. 1 I familiarize myself with quiet zones and the regulations
No. 2 I stay on marked trails
No. 3 I respect the silence of nature
No. 4 I keep my pet on a leash
No. 5 I prioritize daytime activities

The “Quiétude Attitude” program raises public awareness about the best practices to follow in natural environments to preserve the tranquility of animal species.
