Spotting a moose around a bend in the trail or hearing a loon call at dawn beats any nature documentary. Quebec’s vast territory shelters remarkably diverse wildlife, and plenty of sites let you observe it responsibly — interpretation centres, refuges, outfitters and parks where deer, black bears, caribou and migratory birds live in their natural habitat. Some experiences are minutes from the city; others require a trek into remote country, but all of them leave lasting memories. Every season brings its own encounters. Browse the addresses in this category and go meet Quebec’s wild residents.
