The canopy is the upper level of the forest, a living environment rich in biodiversity and biological productivity, which is home to the majority of species living in it and which contains complex and highly diverse ecosystems.
Want to know more about the canopy and its important role in our environment and our cities? Watch this video! Lou, project manager in greening and urban agriculture, explains it all to you.
Programs to increase the canopy rate in Montreal:
