«Subjects of admiration for their form and their colour, they inspire peasants, artists, engineers and philosophers; each receives an object lesson, a cherished influence.» - Frederic Back, talking about trees.

The Association forestière des deux rives is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to fostering biodiversity and strengthening our communities. Our mission is to contribute to the sustainable management of our trees and forests through our actions in education, conservation and tree planting.

We organize activities to increase awareness and teach people about the importance of trees and forests, we partner with various public and private stakeholders to protect, maintain, and enhance forests and other natural spaces, and finally, we work with local communities to plant trees in urban and rural environments.

Our territory covers the Capitale-Nationale region, which includes Quebec City and surrounding municipalities, as well as a part of the Chaudière-Appalaches region on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River.
