2023-In Progress
Hydro-Québec wishes to implement differentiated management of vegetation in different types of environments, either on the right-of-way of transmission lines and on the land of administrative buildings belonging to them. This approach consists of modulating the frequency of vegetation cutting as well as carrying out certain seedings to make way for a more natural green space, where native plants make it possible to attract pollinators and small fauna and thus promote all of the biodiversity. These test beds will also make it possible to respond to various needs and concerns of municipalities, particularly with regard to the effect of differentiated management on the proliferation of invasive species.
T2 Environnement’s mandate consists of supporting Hydro-Québec in setting up test benches in order to monitor the evolution of twelve invasive floral species present on the MELCCFP list as well as five species harmful to health. T2 Environnement thus participated in the inventory of invasive species present on the selected sites.
A report presenting the main results was produced and recommendations regarding the management of the species present on the selected sites were issued.
