Restoring balance: the ups and downs of log-driving
An immersion in history and nature - On view until June 2025
The log drive, an emblematic practice of Quebec's forestry industry, has marked our history and left an indelible imprint on our waterways. Powerful log drivers, true heroes of the river, steered thousands of logs through rapids and natural obstacles, shaping an era and a way of life. But this legacy had far-reaching consequences for our ecosystems, engendering a series of profound and sometimes irreversible transformations.Today, discover the “dédrave”, a daring project working to restore the balance of our natural environments. Through this exhibition, immerse yourself in the challenges of ecological restoration and explore how “dédraveurs” repair ecosystems, one action at a time.
Designed to captivate the whole family, the exhibition even includes an activity book specially for children. The exhibition is an invitation to discover our collective history and to understand the importance of preserving our natural heritage. Much more than an exhibition, it's a celebration of human ingenuity and our ability to repair the mistakes of the past. The exhibition was produced by Culture Trois-Rivières and Parks Canada.
