Johnville Bog & Forest Park

Johnville Bog and Forest Park in Quebec’s Estrie region protects the Johnville Bog and surrounding landscapes, including a kettle, the Lacs Jenckes, and a pond, creating an unusual blend of wetland and forest habitats. Named for nearby Johnville, itself named after John Sewell Sanborn, the area shifted from a former water source for Lennoxville to a protected conservation and recreation site. Conservation efforts began with the Johnville Woodland Conservation Corporation in 1989, followed by public opening in 2003, a long-term agreement in 2008, and transfer to Bishop’s University and the Université de Sherbrooke in 2010. Today it supports research, habitat preservation, trails, and notable birdwatching.
