Les Amis du Parc Meadowbrook is a lively, dynamic group whose mission is to transform Meadowbrook, a 57-hectare green space that straddles the city of Cote St. Luc and the borough of Lachine, into an urban heritage nature park accessible to all. The group is also involved in a great many ways in the fight to preserve green spaces on the Island of Montreal.
If you would like to make a contribution and bring your special expertise to the table, here are a few suggestions:
Communications Committee
If you are a WordPress or a Wiki wizard, we would like to hear from you for help with our website (www.lesamsidemeadowbrook.org) and our ecomap project (www.montrealecomap.com). We could also use some help on our Facebook (www.facebook.com/sosmeadowbrook) and Twitter (@ParcMeadowbrook) pages.
Les Amis are celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2019. We have many projects in mind. So if you would like to lend us a hand, you are most welcome! Money, as always, is the crux of the matter, so any fundraisers would also be welcome.
Guardians of Meadowbrook
This is a special initiative to protect Meadowbrook until it becomes a nature park. A number of projects are under consideration: bird boxes and feeders (Meadowbrook is well known to birdwatchers), cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter, access routes to the area, etc.
Good research, collaborative and negotiating skills are required in this case.
Sauvons la Falaise
Les Amis and Sauvons la Falaise (www.sauvonslafalaise.ca) are partner organisations. Sauvons la Falaise’s mission is the protection of the Falaise Saint-Jacques ecoterritory that stretches 4 kilometres from Montreal West to Westmount along St. Jacques Boulevard.
Here is a special assignment, one best suited to geography buffs. We need to make a map of the Falaise with GPS coordinates. For those with a more political bent, we also need volunteers to follow the proceedings of the Bon voisinage Turcot meetings in NDG and the Sud-Ouest, as well as volunteers to attend municipal council meetings.
Please contact us at lesamisdemeadowbrook@gmail.com to find out more and help us make Meadowbrook accessible to all!
Thank you for your interest!
