Bioblitz
The Bioblitz helps make everyone—particularly young
adults and families—more aware of Montréal’s biodiversity,
with scientists organizing recreational activities within
a large park.
This season, Angrignon Park will host scientists and
other members of the community for two days of activities,
including an inventory of the park’s biodiversity. This
event will be an opportunity to broaden our understanding
of efforts to protect biodiversity in Montréal’s large
parks (inventories, control of invasive species, etc.) and
to meet specialists (biologists, tree growers, wildlife technicians,
botanists, etc.) who work in the field.
Information collected over these two days will be posted
on line and will be used to develop a park discovery walk
associated with BioTrousse Montréal. Furthermore, an
annual schedule of eco-citizen activities (environmental
follow-up, green brigades, etc.) will be offered to those
who wish to pursue their involvement and participate in a
better understanding of urban biodiversity.
Angrignon Farm will be closed this season.
