The municipality of Bolton-Est is seeing a new fall exhibition titled \u201cLa f\u00f4ret appalachienne sous toutes ses branches\u201d presented by the Bolton-Est cultural committee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition is running under the theme la sauvegarde de notre patrimoine forestier<\/i> (\u201cpreserving our forest heritage\u201d) and invites the public to discover artisans that use nature as a part of their craft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition will also include conferences presented by professionals belonging to different conservation groups to inform the public about the importance of forests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLast winter, I proposed that we educate people and make them aware of our beautiful Appalachian forest. I organize it, but I am supported by the cultural committee here. It\u2019s great that we have the support of our village to organize that kind of that event,\u201d said Mich\u00e8le C\u00f4t\u00e9.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00f4t\u00e9 explained that the exhibition will be compromised of different stands, including a book stand, and artisans of different mediums that will share their love for nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some painters, sculptors, wood carvers, an organ builder, I have the enterprise JUstenbois that makes fine maple wood utensils and dishes. There is also a traditional herbalist Caroline Ouellette, there is furniture designer Simon Johns, there will be the stand for Appalachian Corridor,\u201d she said. \u201c(\u2026) It\u2019s going to be interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

With \u201ca lot of beautiful things to look at,\u201d C\u00f4t\u00e9 also highlighted her experience preserving a piece of her own farmland with the help of conservation organization Appalachian Corridor and the reason behind this year\u2019s chosen theme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Appalachian forest, and the Boreal forest, is one of the most precious ones, if I can say, because of the large biodiversity and the mix of the different kinds of trees,\u201d she noted. \u201c(\u2026) It\u2019s very important to protect it, it helps to protect life. The goal all of this is to sensitize people to be aware of being protectors of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

C\u00f4t\u00e9 mentioned that the exhibition is also meant to be an educational experience for the public with different conferences taking place under the gazebo in Terrio Park.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first conference will take place on October 1 and it will be presented by Ouellette. The conference will focus natural herbal therapy and the plants she uses around Bolton-Est to create what C\u00f4t\u00e9 calls her \u201cpotion.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It will be followed by two other conferences on October 8 presented by two conservation groups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first conference will be done by Tanya Vinet. She works for Appalachian Corridor, she is the biologist, and she will talk about climate change and the effect it has on the forest and what we can do to try to preserve the most possible,\u201d explained C\u00f4t\u00e9. \u201cThe other conference will be done by another biologist Cynthia Patry, she works for the Nature Conservancy of Canada. The conference will focus on the conservation tools available to land owners who want to be agents of change.\u201d<\/p>\n

La f\u00f4ret appalachienne sous toutes ses branches is taking place on October 1, 2, 8, 9 and 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Center St-Patrick (former Anglican church next to the Bolton-Est town hall), at 854, route Missisquoi.<\/p>\n

\u201cI invite everyone to see that and to share their love for our land, all around. I think we are so lucky Eastern Townshippers, we\u2019re very lucky people for sure,\u201d concluded C\u00f4t\u00e9.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
