Planting native trees and shrubs

This event is bilingual.

Planting initiatives help to support natural regeneration and promote forest biodiversity, which has been disrupted by the presence of invasive alien species and habitat fragmentation. These measures form part of a comprehensive approach to restoring the natural habitats of Mount Royal.
