Domaine Roch Paradis hiking trail

Palmarolle, La Sarre et l'Abitibi-Ouest

To access the Domaine, you must take a gateway located at the entrance. The trails of this network crisscross a plantation forest composed of larch, American elm, white and road pines, yellow and white birches, maple, ash and cypress trees, as well as white and black spruce and norway. About 500 trees are planted each year. There are also many wild roses and small fruit trees such as cherry. The trails La montée du petit 8 and Des lièvres cross a cove located below. You will go down a small hill to go up the other side. These paths cross a stream. Next to the picnic area, a large panel shows the tree species present with an illustration for each. Benches have been installed along the trails.

History

In the spring of 1934, Ida Morrissette-Paradis, first postmaster and owner of the general store in Palmarolle, bought this 70-acre (28 ha) lot. In 1976, his eldest son becomes the buyer. In order to preserve and give an educational and recreational vocation to the 50 acres of forest, it partners and created on this family territory, the heritage forest of Palmarolle.

The development of the forest began in 1978, thanks to the involvement of members of the Paradis-Fortin family and the help of many volunteers (particularly Mr. Alain Shink and the Mercier and Nicol families), with the valuable cooperation of the municipal corporation of Palmarolle and that of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Wildlife.

The brothers Jean and Jos Boutin carry out extensive ploughing and preparation work in anticipation of reforestation. In 1979, a first plantation of white spruce is effected; other plantations of various forest species follow to recreate a natural woodland.
