TREE PLANTING - 2020
COLLABORATION WITH CÉGEP DE SHERBROOKE - 2020
MONT PINACLE ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT - 2022
On October 31, 2019, strong winds uprooted several trees on trails 1 and 2. Following this natural disturbance, around 90 trees were planted on September 14, 2020 to encourage the return of the forest. The planting was made possible thanks to a donation from Sylva+ and the Aménagement Forestier Agricole des Sommets Inc group for forest management and for donating the trees

Students from the Sherbrooke's Cegep in Bioecology Techniques program, accompanied by their teacher, carried out a major data collection on the herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians), flora (trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants) and small mammals of Parc Harold F. Baldwin. This acquisition of knowledge about the park's flora and fauna will enable us to develop future projects to better enhance and protect this biodiversity, which deserves to be better known. This "win-win" collaboration enabled the students to learn in a concrete and authentic work context, and enabled the PHFB to acquire invaluable data.
