The Réserve écologique de l'Érablière-du-Trente-et-Un-Milles is a protected area established in 1994 on an area of 606 hectares in the southwest of the Canadian province of Québec in the regional county municipality of La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau .
It is located 30 km southwest of the municipality of Maniwaki , west of Matte Bay on the Lac des Trente et Un Milles . It represents and protects the forests typical of the lower Gatineau area or the Lac Simon ecoregion , in which the yellow birch predominates, as well as the eponymous maple forest ( French érablière ). In addition to the sugar maple, one of the northernmost locations of the black sugar maple can be found here .
The reserve is typical of the Upper Laurentides , or this part of the Canadian Shield . The subsoil consists of limestone and dolomite , so there are numerous caves and grottos here. Brown earth , podsol and lithosol, heavily interspersed with rock and stone, describe the soils of the region.
In addition to the yellow birch, there is a species of the hop beech genus ( Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K. Koch ), as well as red oak ( Quercus rubra ), Weymouth pine and hemlock .
Moose, white-tailed deer , beaver and numerous water birds are the most striking representatives of the local fauna.
The name of the area is derived from the lake of the same name.
