Bois Beckett Forest is a 40-hectare protected area that serves as a green sanctuary within Sherbrooke's urban fabric. Its well-maintained trails meander through mature deciduous and coniferous trees, alongside a small stream. The forest is a prime spot for birdwatchers, with species like warblers, woodpeckers, and owls frequently spotted. Interpretive signs along the paths educate visitors about local ecology. Unlike manicured city parks, Bois Beckett retains a wild character, with mossy logs, ferns, and the quiet rustle of leaves underfoot. It's a favorite for a quick nature fix or a contemplative stroll.
Don't miss
- Birdwatching opportunities with over 100 species recorded, including pileated woodpeckers and barred owls
