Official toponym: Réserve écologique de la Tourbière-de-Shannon. This toponym refers to the name of the bog protected by the ecological reserve. The ecological reserve is located within the natural province of the Southern Laurentians in the Saint-Joseph Lake Low Hills ecological district. The territory is within the sugar maple-basswood bioclimatic domain. It is characterized by a subpolar and continental climate, subhumid annual precipitation and a long growing season. Activities carried on within the Réserve écologique de la Tourbière-de-Shannon are governed by the provisions of the Natural Heritage Conservation Act (chapter C-61.01) and include in particular scientific research and educational or management activities. Those activities will be subject to the written authorization of the Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks. This conservation plan does not prohibit activities in addition to the activities already prohibited in ecological reserves under the Act; nor does it authorize any other activities, or set any additional constraints on the activities permitted by the Act. Since the protection status assigned is comprehensive, no other conservation measure is planned for this protected area. As the conservation objectives are the same as for the entire area, the ecological reserve constitutes a single zone. As provided in the Natural Heritage Conservation Act, the main activities prohibited in an area to which ecological reserve status has been assigned are — forest development activities within the meaning of section 4 of the Sustainable Forest Development Act (chapter A-18.1); — mining, and gas or petroleum development; — mining, gas, and petroleum exploration, brine and underground reservoir exploration, prospecting, and digging or boring; — the development of hydraulic resources and any production of energy on a commercial or industrial basis; — hunting, trapping, fishing, earthwork and construction work, agricultural, industrial, or commercial activities and, generally, any activity likely to alter the state or nature of ecosystems. No person may be in an ecological reserve, except for an inspection or for the carrying on of an activity authorized under the Act. The Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks may, however, give written authorization on the conditions the Minister determines for any activity consistent with the purposes of an ecological reserve or with its management.
