More Information
Point St. Peter forms the easternmost point of the Gaspé Peninsula. Located halfway between the towns of Gaspé and Percé, Point St. Peter is comprised of meadows, forests, and 10-metre cliffs along the shorelines of the Gaspé coast. This distinctive ecosystem supports many different mammals and birds. Notably, large flocks of ducks can be found at Point St. Peter in the spring and fall, including Barrow’s goldeneye, which depends on undisturbed coastal zones and tree cavities for nesting.
What you will be doing
1-Installation of pedestrian fences;
2-Pruning and cutting of trees/shrubs along the trail;
3-Removal of a few unsafe stumps;
4-Trail marking;
5-Waste collection.
Participants will give new life to a trail in one of the most beautiful spots on the Gaspé Peninsula, protected by NCC.
