Celebrate 2011: International Year of Forests!

These galleries show photos of the landscape, animals, plants and insects from several areas in Eastern Ontario. There are also galleries of photos from other lands.

However, the primary purpose of this space is to showcase LAROSE FOREST. This 18,000 acre forest comprised of mixed hardwoods, plantations of red pine and white pine, and extensive wetlands, is home to a diversity of wildlife including over 143 species of birds, 68 species of butterflies,as well as moose, deer, fisher, and many other wildlife species, and hundreds of species of plants and mushrooms. Recreational opportunities abound, with hiking, skiing, bird-watching, nature study, cycling, dog-sledding, horse-back riding. There are also opporunties for snowmobiling and ATVs. The forest is located east of Ottawa, in the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, between the towns of Limoges and Bourget.

I have also uploaded galleries showing photos from other places around eastern Ontario. By clicking on the gallery "Photos From Other Places" you will find many other galleries. More recently, I've added photos from other countries, and photos of wildlife from places other than Larose.

For more photos of plants and wildlife by myself and others, please check out the Fletcher Wildlife Garden galleries. Go to Fletcher Wildlife Garden
