Marc-André joins the Appalachian Corridor team as a conservation advisor. His main role will be to support private landowners interested in conserving ecosystems in the Northern Green Mountains.

With a bachelor’s degree in ecology and a master’s in environmental management, Marc-André has held a variety of positions related to the protection of Quebec’s ecosystems. In particular, he has acted as scientific manager and coordinator for other conservation organizations such as the Fiducie de conservation des écosystèmes de Lanaudière and SÉPAQ.
