Appalachian Corridor was honoured with the Prix de L’acquisition de l’année at the first edition of the Gala des Prix de la conservation Nature Sauvage last week for its efforts on the Mont Gale conservation project. 

Appalachian Corridor is a conservation organization which protects biodiversity and natural environments in the Eastern Township. It was given the award for preserving 14 hectares of land in the Mont Gale sector of Bromont with the help of citizen’s group Protection Mont Gale last year, said Maxime Comtois, head of communications for the Réseau de milieux naturels protégés (RMN), gala organizer.

Highlighting why it’s important to recognize conservation projects on private land, Executive Director of Appalachian Corridor Mélanie Lelièvre told CIDI that it opens more people up to efforts in conservation and helps brings them into the conversation.
