Tree planting in Kirkland

Nature of work

Tree planting activities carried out by the NouvLR consortium as part of the REM project are taking place behind Houde and Niagara streets in the week from September 30 to November 1. 

This planting area, which was once a wooded area, will see approximately 370 trees and 185 shrubs typical of the region being planted.

These planting activities are part of the compensatory measures for the REM work and will be subject to environmental monitoring to ensure their proper growth for ten years.

Impacts and mitigation measures 

• No impact is expected on pedestrian and cyclist traffic.
• Vehicule traffic is possible near the planting area.
• The planting area will remain temporarily marked to protect the plants.
