Pierrefonds woods to be razed for residence

One of the remaining bits of forest in Pierrefonds is known as the boisé Bourque, but a developer wants to raze it to build a residence for the elderly.

In another part of the island, the Bois-des-Pères is threatened by illegal snow dumping being done by Maisonneuve-Rosemont hospital. The Bois is a little-known piece of untouched linear landscape in eastern Rosemont, wedged in between the hospital compound and other buildings.
