Keep your eyes open during your visit to Éco-Odyssée Nature Park and you may have the chance to see the fauna in their natural habitat.

Éco-Odyssée Nature Park has a very broad biodiversity. The park has three distinct natural habitats: marshland, forest and agricultural fields. The marsh exist thanks to the beavers who have created a dam that retains water and creates a larger humid environment. This environment is home to a variety of fauna and flora species that guests may see during their visit.

Éco-Odyssée is not a zoo!

The animals that live in the park are in their natural habitat. The possibility of observing these animals depends on the time of day, the time of the year, the weather as well as the observer. Seeing the animals while you visit is not a guarantee. However, they are there and do leave traces of their presence…

During your visit of the park, keep an eye out for the animals but also for the trees, the ground, the plants, the water… A natural habitat can say a lot about those who inhabit it!
