Parc Omega, with the support of the Foundation, is leading a conservation project to support native pollinators by planting a variety of local plant species throughout the site. These plants provide an essential food source (nectar and pollen) and habitat for bees, butterflies, bumblebees, beetles and other pollinating insects. In particular, milkweed has been planted to support the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, an endangered species in Canada.

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

In response to this challenge, Parc Oméga has created a pollinator garden featuring native plants renowned for attracting and feeding these species. Carefully tended, the garden acts as a haven for pollinator fauna and an educational space designed to raise visitors’ awareness of their crucial ecological role.

The Foundation and the park also plan to expand their efforts over the next few years, naturalizing other areas, adding diversified flowering zones and further integrating pollinator issues into its education activities.
