Reversing the ravages of the emerald ash borer in Rosemère

From June 3 to 5, in collaboration with Arbre-Évolution as part of its Reboisement social TM program, the city of Rosemère will proceed with a community planting of 1,440 plants (trees and shrubs) to reforest the town following the ravages of the emerald ash borer. In order to restore and enhance affected habitats, a total of six sites have been selected:

Des Bernaches Street site (vacant lot, 6 to 8 volunteers needed)
