The André-Linteau Protected Area is 5 km northwest of the parish of Rapides-des-Joachims in the county of Pontiac . It serves to protect a location of the Weymouth pine or strobe. It is the largest species of conifer in eastern North America and is up to 500 years old. The hilly area is between 250 and 500 m above sea level, the protected tree species stands on a terrace around 50 m above the Ottawa .
