The Réserve écologique de la Chênaie-des-Îles-Finlay ( French for "Ecological Protected Area Chênaie-des-Îles-Finlay") is a 94 hectare protected area in the Canadian province of Québec .
These protected areas are mostly inaccessible to the public, with the exception of four protected areas, namely Serpentine-de-Coleraine , Forêt-la-Blanche , Tourbières-de-Lanoraie and Île-Brion .
The Chênaie-des-Îles-Finlay reserve is located on Finlay Island at the far west end of Lac Coulonge, not far from Waltham . It harbors a deposit of oak, which is characterized by large leaves ( Quercus macrocarpa ), and at the same time a number of sand islands that are typical of the Ottawa River area. In the case of the oaks, it is one of the northernmost occurrences of this species. There are also seven threatened plants in the area, namely American white oak (Quercus alba), Hudsonia tomentosa from the rockrose family , Cyperus lupulinus subsp. macilentus from the genus of the sedge grass , hideaway fall seed grass ( Sporobolus cryptandrus ), Polygonella articulata or Coastal Jointweed and Lysimachia quadrifolia from the family of the myrsine plants .
In addition, here turtles live as spinifera Apalone and the northern map turtle , the latter was first noticed in the 1990s. There are also 44 species of birds on the islands. Six species of larger mammals were found, namely squirrel , black bear, beaver, muskrat and white-tailed deer and raccoon. There are also four other types of small mammals: American short-tailed shrews , American masked shrews , Zapus hudsonius and white-footed shrews .
