U.N.I.S.!!! - Montreal's lifeline for flora and fauna is up
and running for the 2008 summer season!!
The Urban Nature Information Service (U.N.I.S.) has been operating at McGill University for over 20 years, and is committed to educating the public in environmentally friendly garden practices and wildlife interactions. We are back in action this summer to assist Quebec residents with solving problems such as burrowing lawn grubs and plant-devouring fungi, what to do with orphaned or injured birds and squirrels, and solutions for keeping raccoons and skunks at bay. As well, starting this year, we’re available for advice on general green living including the best products to use, how to compost, conserving water practices, and what is recyclable in today’s garbage can.
U.N.I.S., is based at McGill University's Macdonald Campus in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, and is a non-profit service supported by the generous financial contribution of donors. This bilingual service aims to help urban communities coexist with local nature by offering information and, where possible, peaceful solutions to wildlife and horticulture related problems.
