A golden light dances on the barely reddened leaves of autumn as it begins – it’s a magical season! It’s a moment that lasts but an instant, and you have to seize it while it lasts. It seems to me that everything is sublimated in autumn, the ephemeral landscapes making outings even more unique and spectacular.
Bears, wolves and elk: unforgettable encounters in the wild!
So it was on a balmy Sunday in late September that we headed to Frampton to check out the Miller Zoo. Although we love animals and the environment, we’re not big fans of traditional zoos, but we were curious to explore this zoo in particular because it’s a wildlife sanctuary for the rehabilitation of injured or orphaned animals, but also because it offers a large nature reserve. A vast space where you can wander for over 3 km through landscaped nature (just enough, not too much) and where the animals can have a satisfactory living space resembling their natural environment.
In short, we leave with the idea that we won’t systematically see all the species, so it’s all the more touching when we come across one of these wild animals that has kindly shown the tip of its nose. That’s how amazed my children were when they saw the white wolf, the bears and the elk. The site has an educational mission to make visitors aware of the need to respect wildlife. There’s a real desire for consistency and continuous improvement in their practices.
