Montreal East - Heat wave mitigation tree planting initiative
EF 2024-25 · 2024-05-03
Résumé
The project will create a new natural environment on a 145-hectare site through the massive planting of 230,000 trees and 57,000 shrubs that will consolidate the last remaining green spaces in the East and strengthen the existing natural infrastructure. This consolidation will create a cool zone and counteract extreme heat events that affect the health, resilience and quality of life of the community. The consolidation of green areas to create a park will result in a new natural infrastructure designed and built to mitigate the current and future impacts of climate change, while meeting the need of the population of the east of Montreal to access to large protected natural area.

Description (French)
Le projet créera un nouvel environnement naturel sur un site de 145 hectares par la plantation massive de 230 000 arbres et 57 000 arbustes qui consolideront les derniers espaces verts de l'Est et renforceront l'infrastructure naturelle existante. Cette consolidation permettra de créer une zone fraîche et de contrer les épisodes de chaleur extrême qui affectent la santé, la résilience et la qualité de vie de la communauté. La consolidation des espaces verts pour créer un parc donnera naissance à une nouvelle infrastructure naturelle conçue et construite pour atténuer les impacts actuels et futurs du changement climatique, tout en répondant au besoin de la population de l'est de Montréal d'accéder à une grande zone naturelle protégée.
