Renaturalization of riparian strips
There is a regulation in Lac-Brome that requires that a riparian strip be vegetated (10 meters if the slope of the land is 30 degrees or less and 15 meters if the slope is greater than 30 degrees). In this space on the shore, it is forbidden to mow the lawn, even in the fall.
A good layout
Rainwater should normally seep into the ground. Then it is absorbed by trees and plants and seeps into underground water tables.
After a very heavy rain, floor fails to absorb everything, so a large amount of water remains on the surface. However, this surplus flows into rivers and streams, causing pollutants.
Vegetation stabilizes embankments and decreases the speed of water flow, which acts against erosion and prevents runoff.
By arranging your land correctly,
you will make
a big difference!

Borrow a Rusty Crayfish Trap
To raise awareness about the impact of invasive species on Brome Lake, Conservation Lac Brome offers you the opportunity to borrow crayfish traps.
How the Program Works
-
Borrow up to three traps by leaving a refundable deposit of $20 per trap. The deposit will be returned once the equipment is brought back in good condition.
-
Before taking the equipment home, participants are asked to complete a brief training consisting of two short video modules, read the code of ethics, and sign a commitment declaration.
-
After your capture efforts, we invite you to fill out a short form to share your results.
-
Please be reminded that once a crayfish is captured, it is prohibited to release it back into the water or transport it alive. Only personal-use capture is permitted.
