He revives the colourful and colourful characters of this world of loggers, as well as legends of local folklore, including the ghosts of the great Miramichi fire, the Dungarvon Whooper and Peter Emberley. Between summer and autumn 1825, drought and the practice of slash-burn agriculture were the main cause of forest fires. The city of Miramichi was particularly affected with more than 1 000 km of smoke. There were almost 300 dead and many missing because many loggers were at work in the forest. This tragedy is still present in the minds of the people. You can also enter the trapper's hut, the blacksmith's workshop and the yuan, but also take a walk on the train Dungarvon Whooper and see the famous plane Avenger. Every year in August, the best logger will be held. Men and women participating in this forest sports decathlon.
