Pointe-au-Père National Wildlife Area
The Pointe-au-Père National Wildlife Area is one of eight National Wildlife Areas of Canada located in Quebec. This small 23-hectare area protects a spartina marsh located in the Pointe-au-Père sector of the city of Rimouski. In addition to the marsh, it includes an eelgrass meadow. Despite its small size, it is frequented by over 120 species of birds, including snow geese, Barrow's goldeneye, least sandpiper and greater yellowlegs. It was created in 1986 following pressure from a group of residents to protect the marsh. It is administered by the Canadian Wildlife Service.
