Screening of the documentary
The art of trees

Tuesday, April 22 | 7 p.m. at the Pavillon de l'île

Screening of the documentary "Des arbres et des arts," directed by André Desrochers. This film delves into the heart of the Suroît forest, giving voice to majestic trees that reveal secrets and often little-known stories. It also highlights positive human actions aimed at protecting and enhancing the forest, while offering artists the opportunity to revive so-called "dead" trees.

Some scenes in the documentary were filmed at the wildlife refuge and the ecological center, demonstrating the richness of these protected areas.

The presentation is organized in partnership with Héritage Saint-Bernard and the City of Châteauguay, and is sponsored by the International Observatory for the Rights of Nature.

Duration: 90 minutes.
Free entry.
