5. Difficulty - Level 1.5 (between L1 and L2 because of the wetlands), probably more difficult with snow.
6. GPS location: 45.415489, -75.845698
7. Description:
The Boucher forest is the last large wild space in the Aylmer sector. Despite being an urban forest, its large area (700+ acres) and its proximity to Gatineau Park (3.5 km to the North) have allowed it to remain an important refuge for biodiversity. During the 23Bio-Blitz events, organized by the Foundation in June 2010, May 2011 and June 2018, scientists and citizens inventoried over 1145 animal and plant species.
