Our Services

Since 2008, Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery has a Trees and Woodlands Management Plan. It contains certain commitments to enhance the landscape value of the site and its heritage contribution to Mount Royal and Montréal. Here are some of the actions:

• Maintaining green assets by planting at least one replacement tree for each of the felled trees;
• Diversification of planted species;
• An increase in the total number of trees on site within 10 years.

The cemetery's arboreal park also includes 5 woodlands on its territory: the Saint-Jean-Baptiste woodland, the Eastern woodland, the Central woodland, the Western woodland and the Northern woodland. Between the trees that compose them and the ornamental trees, it is estimated that the cemetery has nearly 13,500 trees, several of which are centenarians.

The most common species are silver maples, Norway maples, horse chestnuts and sugar maples. But there are also oaks, cherry trees, ash trees, spruces, elms, poplars, cedars, weeping willows.
