Sociztz Duvetnor
In 1979, a small group of friends decided to preserve the ecological richness of the Lower-Saint-Lawrence islands. They founded a non-profit organization, Sociztz Duvetnor Ltze. In 1989, Duvetnor decided to make some of the islands available to the general public through building docking facilities, hiking trails, campgrounds and cottages. They offer a variety of tours from hiking to birding. Double-crested Cormorants, Great Blue Herons, Black-crowned Night Herons, Razorbilled Auks, Black Guillemots, Kittiwakes and various gulls nest throughout the islands. Large flocks of scoters, Black Ducks, goldeneyes and Brants also use the shores and surrounding waters.
