    Planting dune hay, one strand at a time!

    By planting dune grass, we too are putting down roots in the protection of the Islands: the Attention FragÎles team invites you to take part in the local regenerative effort by participating in a dune grass (short-ligule-leaved ammophila) planting activity and make a difference...

    In this way, you will contribute, little by little, to stabilizing the dunes while discovering a distinctive ecosystem of the Magdalen Islands!

    This activity is suitable for all ages (provided you are able to walk a short distance on the beach and have some mobility to make gentle movements).

    Please bring walking boots, appropriate clothing, and a water bottle. We will provide all the necessary planting equipment!

  • Nature art workshop

    Nature art workshop

    By creating a collaborative artwork inspired by the coastal landscape, we also connect with the protection of the Islands: the Attention FragÎles team invites you to participate in Guardians of the Dunes, an immersive nature art activity in the heart of the dune environment…

    You will contribute to a collective artwork symbolizing the protection of dunes and fragile natural environments, while discovering the challenges related to coastal erosion and flooding in the Magdalen Islands!

    No artistic experience is required: the natural materials used for the creation will be gathered on site.

    This activity is suitable for all ages (provided you are able to walk a short distance on the beach and have sufficient mobility for gentle movements).

    Please bring walking boots, appropriate clothing, and a water bottle.

    Municipalité de Grosse-Île

    The Municipality of Grosse-Ile is a small Anglophone community reconstituted on January 1, 2006, situated on the Eastern sector of the Magdalen Islands. This island forms what is commonly known as the East End of the archipelago, and it is the best model of a natural conservation site on the Îles de la Madeleine. The East Point Wildlife Reserve connects the islands to one another. The anglophone inhabitants of Grosse-Île are primarly fischermen and fish plant workers. The salt mine, located at the entrance to the Grosse-ILe district, an impressively large installation, is unique in North America. Salt is mined from huge domes that form part of the geological base of the islands. Grosse Île Island is home to many bird watching sites.
