To support the importance of planting trees and helping the regeneration of the forest, Mont SUTTON has launched a Facebook campaign “1 Like = 1 Tree.” This project is a natural part of Mont SUTTON's eco-friendly traditions and policies, as Mont SUTTON is well known for its unique concept of glade skiing, its respect for nature and its sustainable development actions.

1 Like = 1 Tree

From now until March 22nd, Mont SUTTON promises to plant one tree for every new fan on its Facebook Page. Taking part in this campaign means supporting Mont SUTTON in its actions towards sustainable development. Therefore, several “Like” will make a considerable difference in the preservation of nature.

Protecting nature: the very core of skiing at Mont SUTTON

Mont SUTTON is well known for its glade skiing. Year after year, Mont SUTTON’s glades are quoted as the best in Canada, according to Ski Canada Magazine among other publications.

Besides being good for nature, trees are also a part of what makes skiing fun! “Trees protect against the wind, help reduce soil erosion and even help reduce the speed of the snow melt, ensuring a longer spring skiing season,” explains Luc Boulanger, operations director at Mont SUTTON. “Some years, my father, Réal Boulanger, planted hundreds and hundreds of trees in order to preserve the glades,” says Luc. “With ‘1 Like = 1 Tree,’ our fans can help support our actions!” Note that Mont SUTTON also conceded land to the preservation of nature.

Mont SUTTON: a sensitized player in sustainable development

Mont SUTTON contributes to the preservation of the environment and sustainable development with several eco-friendly actions and is recognized as one of the most environmentally conscientious resorts in Canada. Mont SUTTON has won several awards to this respect, such as the Prix d'Excellence in the “Environment and sustainable development” category from the Quebec Ski Area Association (ASSQ). In addition, Mont SUTTON was a finalist at the Prix Phénix de l'environnement, in the category "Protection ad development of the environment and ecosystems" for the Fall Festival.

Mont SUTTON’s eco-friendly actions are compiled together on SUTTON’s Conscience Code, which is available at montsutton.com/eco. The General Manager of Mont SUTTON, Jean-Michel Ryan, describes SUTTON’s Conscience Code as a working reference tool for sustainable development. “Our objective is to add more actions to SUTTON’s Conscience Code every year, according to the following environmental sectors: water management, energy efficiency, waste management, GHG emission reduction, social development in the community, preservation of natural habitats and wildlife, and partnership with organizations in the area.”
