Pollinator protection plan: 2022-2027 objective
Protecting native pollinators and their habitats and recognizing their importance in Montréal’s urban ecosystems. This is the main objective of the 2022-2027 Montréal: A Biodiversity Territory to Support the Protection of Pollinators plan.
Montréal is adapting its practices for the development, management and maintenance of green areas, to meet the needs of these species. The city is also limiting the sale and use of pesticides across its territory.
Three main goals
- Conserve, create and connect pollinator-friendly habitats
- Improve pollinators’ living conditions
- Recognize the importance of pollinators for biodiversity
To reach these three main goals, the city has planned 14 actions. One of these actions involves the distribution by boroughs and participating libraries of perennial native plant species that promote pollinator activity.
