Sustainability map or tour
Yes
A brief description of the sustainability walking map or tour:
An Arboretum to better understand the remarkable trees on the Université de Montréal's main campus.
As soon as they leave the Université de Montréal metro station, users are invited to discover the trees by heading towards the woods along Édouard-Montpetit Boulevard. This walk allows you to cross various types of forests. Starting with grass trees, an urban classic, the walker will first discover three planted forests: the nourishing forest, "the 300 trees of elementary schools" and the consolidated forest environment. Thirteen "remarkable" trees were numbered and then recorded in a guide to help walkers to better understand the vegetation around them. We can find elements on the biology of the tree but also on its use. Illustrations are provided to familiarize you with the bark, leaf and fruit of the specimens.
