Parc Oméga, with the support of the Foundation, leads a conservation project aimed at supporting native pollinators by planting a variety of local plant species throughout the site. These plants provide a source of food (nectar and pollen) as well as essential habitat for bees, butterflies, bumblebees, beetles and other pollinating insects. Milkweed in particular has been planted to support the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, a species at risk in Canada.

Pollinators play a fundamental role in maintaining biodiversity. By facilitating the reproduction of many plants, they ensure the production of fruits and seeds, support natural food chains and contribute to ecosystem regeneration. Their global decline, caused by habitat loss, pesticides, disease and climate change, threatens ecological stability and human food security.

To address this issue, Parc Oméga has created a pollinator garden made up of native plants known to attract and feed these species. This carefully maintained garden acts as a true refuge for pollinating wildlife and as an educational space designed to raise our visitors’ awareness of their crucial ecological role.

The Foundation and the park also plan to expand their efforts in the coming years, by naturalizing other areas, adding diversified flowering zones and further integrating pollinator-related issues into its educational activities.
