Baie-du-Febvre, located on the southern shore of Lac Saint-Pierre (a
UNESCO biosphere reserve), is well known as a haven for migrating
snow geese. Many
birdwatching enthusiasts congregate there in spring and fall to observe them. The town takes great pride in this aspect of its natural heritage, and has established an interpretation centre to teach visitors about the geese, their migration and the local biosphere. Apart from a protected area close to the river,
[7] Limited hunting of snow geese is permitted.
