Exceptional Natural Environments Within an Urban Zone

Through this initiative which involves the city of Granby, several financial partners and many citizens, this conservation program encompasses three woodlands parks set in an urban environment.

Overview

Starting in the Boisés-Miner woodlands, many actions have been undertaken by the Zoo de Granby and its collaborators. These include flora and fauna inventories (birds, bats, amphibians, reptiles, land mammals), awareness raising programs, development of communication tools (interpretation panels, information guides, trail maps, nature workshops) monitoring the ecological integrity of the woodlands and their peripheral zone. In 2019, two new parcs, Terry-Fox and Sentier de la rivière, were joined to this initiative.

Vision for the future

The Zoo biologists hope to establish an action plan for managing invasive exotic plants, as they continue their inventories, awareness raising and citizen involvement actions.

The Zoo de Granby is recognized by its peers throughout Canada

At the Canada Accredited Zoos and Aquariums organization (CAZA) conference, held in Ottawa in September 2018, the work accomplished since 2014 by the Zoo de Granby to preserve and improve the Boisés-Miner was rewarded with the Peter Karsten In-situ Conservation Award.

Testimonials

I had an amazing time here with my family! My kids absolutely loved it. Amazing experience :)

Mario Sevo

First time visiting here on our annual summer week in Québec. We went for the 2 day family pass, and had an amazing time. The 2 days allowed us to take our time around the park, and gave plenty of time as well for cooling off at the Amazoo. We'll definitely come back!

JR Bélanger

Amazing place to take the family! Lots of animals to see, amazing water park and fun rides. Great packages available with hotels close by for out of town visitors. Highly recommend!
