Welcome to Scales Nature Park!The Best Canadian Reptile ExperienceScales Nature Park is an education and conservation facility focused on Canadian reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Our nature centre features the largest live collection of Canadian reptiles and amphibians, providing unparalleled opportunities for learning these creatures. Visitors have a chance to touch or hold some of them, and most people try it out! We provide on-site and outreach programming for groups such as schools, camps, and birthday parties, as well as advanced workshops on specialized topics.While most people come for the animals in the centre (it's a great rainy day activity!), the park itself features 3.5 km of nature trails through a variety of habitats such as forest and wetland. for information the following:Note: scalesnaturepark.ca is currently being upgraded so please bear with our temporary site.
We are a volunteer driven non-profit organization dedicated to the survival of rare and endangered species. We are also involved in humane wildlife rescue and rehabilitation of animals involved in public concerns, and as always, we provide a safe haven for unwanted, abused and injured exotic and zoo surplus animals.
Falardeau Zoo: being a refuge is in our nature.
May 1, 2009 marks the opening of a wildlife observation and agricultural interpretation center in St-David-de-Falardeau, Saguenay.
This center was born thanks to two enthusiasts, Daniel Gagnon and Suzie Girard. For more than 45 years, they have invested, with the help of their children, all their energies and efforts in a leading beef farm. This center helps animals in distress. When these can be safely released, they are released into the wild.
Since 2012 The owners have also acquired various species that people can observe in their natural habitat.
It is therefore with great pride that we invite you to come and visit us.
