This project calls for the creation of seven mini-forests that will improve access to nature in the city. It was one of the winning projects in the first edition of the city’s participatory budget.

Description

These protected mini-forests, developed in local parks or underused municipal spaces, increase the size of the city’s green canopy and offer residents a place for quiet contemplation.
This project will be implemented in five boroughs, with a total budget of $1.4 million.

Benefits

  • Add more than 1,200 m2 of forests in Montréal.
  • Offer islands of biodiversity that promote the survival of plant and animal species.
  • Offer residents places to decompress and re-energize.
