The territories operated by Air Mont-Laurier, including the Jesmer, Tibériade, and Lac du Mâle (Gouin Reservoir) outfitters, feature a varied and preserved natural habitat. The Jesmer and Tibériade sectors are characterized by mountainous and rugged terrain. The landscape is carved by several major waterways, notably the Bleuets, Bazin, and Némikachi rivers. These steep areas, marked by natural passes, serve as a high-density refuge for moose. To the east and west of the rivers, the hydrographic network includes numerous isolated lakes, such as the Dorothy Lakes, renowned for underwater structures that harbor predator populations.

Gouin Reservoir, the aquatic environment is based on a former natural lake featuring deep holes, varied bottom structures, islands, and sheltered bays like Baie des Aigles. Fed by two rivers creating constant currents, this environment maintains an abundant presence of forage fish.
Aquatic wildlife primarily includes walleye, Northern pike, and wild, non-stocked brook trout. Terrestrial fauna comprises a wide diversity of frequently observed mammals, such as black bear, wolf, fox, bobcat, beaver, otter, and American marten. Birdlife is also very active, highlighted by the presence of bald eagles, several duck species, and loons.
