Marché Richelieu

The À l’école de la nature program allows elementary and high school children to enjoy a free recreational/educational activity in a Quebec national park. Developed by the Fondation québécoise en environnement, and offered free of charge by Richelieu merchants and Parcs Québec (SÉPAQ), the program aims to raise young people’s awareness to ecological issues, environmental protection and sustainable development.

These learning activities, whether self-guided or led by a park warden-naturalist, give students an opportunity to learn a concrete lesson in a breathtaking outdoor classroom. The children discover stunning natural environments inhabited by plants and animals whose protection and survival pose numerous challenges.

All À l’école de la nature outings are held during warm days in spring and fall.
