TOMORROW
THE OVER-CONFIDENT
WHITE-TAILED DEER
Impressed by their beauty, thousands of visitors look to approach the white-tailed
deers with gestures or food, actions that significantly modifiy their animal behaviour.
Once a shy creature, this animal has lost its fear of humans. May a deer that has
become so familiar with humans learn to fear them once again? We attempt to
answer this question to establish a plan of action. Learn more on this topic at our
Sans merci pour le cerf de Virginie talk.
RACCOONS
Did you know that raccoons are thieves?
To avoid unpleasant surprises:
• Maintain a clean campsite;
• Don’t leave any odorant items (food, toothpaste, medications, etc.) on your
campsite or in your tent, even during the day. Store them in your car trunk;
• Regularly deposit all waste and rubbish in our containers;
• Don’t throw cooking grease or food in the fire;
• Wash your dishes after each meal;
• Avoid emptying your dishwater on the ground;
• Don’t cook in your tent.
If they’re attracted to your campsite, they will come back!
THE SQUIRREL WITH SHARP TEETH
A hike... What a perfect moment to have a picnic! Many rodents have noticed. Avoid
leaving uneaten snacks behind as food decomposes and undeniably attracts animals.
For squirrels to invite themselves to your picnics, how many uneaten snacks have
been left behind in the forest? Careful, their teeth are sharp like knives! They may
also spread parasites, diseases or inflict injuries.
12LET’S PROTECT KING OF THE OUR FOREST
The wolf is at the top of the food chain. As a large carnivore, it plays a key role in
maintaining a balance within the ecosystems. Since wolf pack territories cross the
park’s limits, we want to clarify how the wolves interact with humans. We are also
