The territory is home to a small protected area, Lac-Matapédia Forest Refuge (304 hectares (750 acres)) that was established in 2008 to protect three populations of the calypso orchid (Calypso bulbosa), a plant designated as threatened or vulnerable in Quebec. A part of the remainder of the territory is being considered for the creation of a new provincial park.
