T2 Environnement has a team of senior specialists who successfully carry out large-scale projects. Our multidisciplinary team allows us to offer a complete range of customized services in the following areas:
Inventory and mapping of biological and physical environments
Ecosystem inventory and mapping are the foundation of any environmental assessment and any ecological restoration, conservation or biodiversity enhancement project. T² Environnement is based on more than two decades of experience in characterization and mapping of terrestrial and wetland ecosystems. T² Environnement masters the inventory methods required by provincial and federal governments and innovates by developing efficient tools to assess the value of wildlife and plant habitats. We work with a geo-referenced platform and submetric GPS.

Environmental assessment
The environmental assessment process is an essential step for any project that requires government authorization. T² Environnement has extensive experience in environmental assessment, including conducting environmental impact studies and obtaining authorization certificates. We assist our clients in the writing of project notices for ministries and cities. Over the years, we have produced environmental assessments that meet the requirements of Quebec and federal regulations as well as the aspirations of local communities.

Ecological restoration
Ecological restoration consists of intervening in an ecosystem degraded by human activities in such a way as to allow the gradual return of wildlife and plant habitats present before the disturbance. The action of restoring a site may result from notices of violation, legal obligations or the willingness of citizens to restore a viable natural environment to the community. We restore wetlands and mining sites, control the invasion of exotic species and promote conditions conducive to biodiversity.

- Implementation of an ecological restoration program for a mining complex located north of Schefferville
- Development of a corrective measures plan to be implemented for the restoration of a wetland in Montérégie
- Development of a corrective measures plan to be implemented for the restoration of wetlands in Montérégie
- Feasibility study for the trophic restoration of Roxton Lake
Characterization of wetlands and governmental authorizations
The new regulations issued by the government require qualified biologists to delimit and characterize wetlands and hydrous environments present on a site before any development can take place. T² Environnement’s senior experts in botany and soil conduct numerous wetland studies each year that meet the requirements of the ministère de l’Environnement et la Lutte contre les changements climatiques (MELCC) and municipal governments. We will assist you in all the steps leading to obtaining a certificate of authorization and compensation for the possible loss of wetlands or hydrous environments.

- Characterization of the wetlands and hydrous environments and sensitive plant habitats on the site of Camping Club Havana in Maricourt
- Characterization of the wetlands and hydrous environments of the Lac Sandysun Campground in Franklin
- Characterization of biophysical components and impact assessments for the operation of a sand pit in Val-des-Monts
- Counter-expertise on the presence of wetlands and watercourses on the territory of the City of Saint-Lazare
Ecosystem-based management
Before investing substantial sums of money to purchase land and prepare plans and specifications, it is wise to be aware of the opportunities and constraints associated with the project site. T² Environnement assists its clients in developing sites by taking into consideration the topography, the optimal layout of the road network, roads and trails as well as site-specific constraints (steep slopes, soil types, presence of wetlands, water, sensitive or protected areas, easements, potential soil contamination, etc.). We can also integrate the view and atmosphere of the site (streams and water bodies, forest cover, natural shorelines, etc.) into the analysis.

Enhancement and conservation of natural environments
Acquiring and conserving or enhancing a site for the benefit of society and biodiversity is no small task. T² Environnement identifies sites of interest, estimates their ecological value and potential for conservation and enhancement activities. We also validate the interest of communities in participating in the project and practicing their favourite outdoor activities.
