A few kilometers from Moffet, nestled between ranges 7 and 8, lies a forest unlike any other. There, at 775, stretch out more than 5,000 fir trees, ready to brighten the living rooms of Témiscamingue families. Welcome to the Gaboury Development Corporation's fir forest, a place where the holiday spirit takes root.
A local tradition that smells of pine
Every year, a few weekends before Christmas, the Gaboury team welcomes young and old alike to a festive and friendly atmosphere. Armed with their saws and their good humor, visitors come to choose their tree, the one that will decorate their home and fill the holiday season with fragrance.
It's a simple, accessible, and magical activity—ideal for creating lasting family memories or reconnecting with the authenticity of old-world traditions.
A warm atmosphere in the heart of nature
On site, the team does everything to make the experience memorable: a smiling welcome, a campfire to warm up, fir trees of all sizes, and of course, that unique atmosphere that only the snowy forest can offer.
Whether you come alone, as a couple or with your family, the fir forest invites you to slow down, breathe the fresh air of Témiscamingue and leave with much more than a tree: a precious moment.
A local activity that makes sense
By choosing your tree from the Gaboury fir forest, you are supporting a local organization that promotes natural resources, creates jobs, and actively contributes to sustainable regional development.
It's a simple way to make a concrete gesture for your community, while decorating your home with pride.
