The Parc Oméga Foundation, in collaboration with Parc Oméga and Développement ornithologique Argenteuil (DOA), has set up a network of nest boxes to support the cavity-nesting bird species that nest in the park. A total of 27 nest boxes were installed at strategic locations to provide safe nesting sites for species such as the Eastern Bluebird, the Bicolored Swallow, the Wood Duck, the Crowned Grebe, and the Great Blue Heron, among others.

These nesting boxes are monitored annually: they are inspected, repaired if necessary, and their occupancy is documented in order to better understand the dynamics of the species present and the evolution of their use of the territory.

This project plays a concrete role in strengthening local bird populations by providing them with alternative breeding habitats, at a time when natural cavities are becoming increasingly scarce due to the removal of dead trees and changes to wetlands. This is a simple yet effective conservation effort in the field that helps preserve the region’s avian biodiversity.

In addition to its direct ecological benefits, this initiative provides an excellent awareness-raising tool for park visitors, demonstrating the importance of active habitat management and harmonious cohabitation with wildlife.
