There is a blank page in front of us as we start 2024. Its up to us to write regional history. For inspiration, we recommend reading Éco-corridors laurentiens information guide on voluntary conservation options. Our partner published the guide in the fall of 2023.

In line with Ruisseau Jackson’s vision, the “conservation of natural environments” can be defined as their preservation, protection and management in a manner that meets human needs to ensure community health and enjoyment.

Property owners in the area have many options when it comes to protecting the environment while reaping financial benefits. It is called “voluntary conservation.” This gives owners a way to initiate the conservation and enhancement of natural features on their properties. Owners are thus giving a real gift to the community. They are taking responsibility to protect the environment for everyone’s benefit.

In order to attain its conservation goals, RJANP wants to implement limited actions, each of which considers the significant variety in land use and the diversity of local stakeholders’ concerns.
