Centre Lac-Brome Details | | | The 3rd Rendez-vous des Montagnes Vertes Organized in Brome Lake | On April 30, Centre Lac-Brome hosted the third Rendez-vous des Montagnes Vertes, an event organized by the Corridor appalachien organization that brings together representatives from local municipalities and RCMs in the region. This meeting is an essential forum for ensuring the resilience of the territories—a fundamental condition for maintaining biodiversity. Discussions focused on the conservation of natural environments in the Green Mountains region, recognized worldwide as a critical ecological link within the Appalachians. Guest speakers presented their approaches, results, and lessons learned from their experiences, in a context where ecological connectivity and the protection of the natural network are becoming increasingly important in municipal policy. Ms. Louise Morin, municipal councillor for the Town of Brome Lake, opened the day with a speech announcing a new partnership between the Town of Brome Lake and the Appalachian Corridor to develop a municipal natural environment conservation plan. This two-year project will identify natural areas of high ecological value and target actions to protect them. | Don't Mow in May... for the Bees! Did you know that in May, it's harder for pollinators to find food? Thankfully, dandelions are among the first flowers to offer them nectar after the long winter. Bees play a vital role in plant reproduction, biodiversity, and—ultimately—our own survival. That’s why it’s so important to let your lawn grow in May! | | Creating a Rain Garden at Home: Financial Assistance Available | Now is the time to register for the Home Rain Garden Grant Program.
