Restoring a degraded landscape can involve more than planting vegetation. At a former construction waste disposal site in Quebec City, Agiro is combining soil regeneration, native planting, habitat creation, invasive species management and community participation to help guide the property toward a recovering native ecosystem.
The 1.8-hectare site is situated at the foot of Mont-Brillant in the Saint-Charles River watershed, where Quebec City receives its drinking water. It sits within a municipal property spanning over 155 hectares that has been designated to become a nature reserve.
