Natural Environment

Geography

Formed in a crack in the earth’s crust, Vaudray and Joannès lakes are both generally oriented north-south. These two lakes with sandy bottoms differ from the other lakes in the Abitibia region, which are often made up of clay beds, by their great depth and greater transparency

Wildlife

The Biodiversity Reserve is home to a large number of mammals including the American porcupine, red squirrel, Canada beaver, Great Polatouche, muskrat, elm, American hare, long-tailed weasel, ermine, American marten, Pekan, American mink, striped skunk, river otter, black bear, grey wolf, coyote, red fox and Canadian lynx. There are also 118 species of birds, 98 of which nest here. Among those who nest are: the black duck, the winter teal, the great harle, the collar fuligule and the golden eye garrot. In the deciduous forests, we find the around the pigeon and the great woodpecker. We also find the brown harrier in the coniferous forests. Lake Joannes is frequented by 14 species of fish.

Flora

The forest consists mainly of coniferous stands on the heights or mixed clusters on the slopes. Black spruce is the dominant species. It is most often accompanied by white spruce, balsam fir, paper birch and aspen aspen.
