Ce dimanche 27 septembre, visite guid\u00e9e des arbres du Cimeti\u00e8re Mont-Royal, gratuit, 10h \u00e0 13h, inscription: (514) 279-7358. M\u00eame visite, dimanche prochain en anglais, 13h \u00e0 16h.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Cet \u00e9t\u00e9, j’ai eu le plaisir de me promener au village de Bic dans le bas du fleuve. Au bout d’une des rues principales se trouve le cimeti\u00e8re du village. \u00c0 ma grande surprise, il y avait cet \u00e9norme arbre au milieu. Il faut bien comprendre que, normalement, dans les cimeti\u00e8res catholiques, on ne met pas d’arbres entre les pierres tombales mais plut\u00f4t sur les marges. Fallait que je m’approche pour mieux enqu\u00eater.<\/p>\n

En fait, comme vous voyez ci bas, il s’agit de deux grands tilleuls \u00e0 petites feuilles.\u00a0 Ce fait\u00a0 m’a aussi intrigu\u00e9: \u00c0 mes connaissances, les tilleuls \u00e0 petites feuilles – la m\u00eame esp\u00e8ce qui se trouve sur bien des rues de Montr\u00e9al – n’arrive au Qu\u00e9bec que vers la fin du 20i\u00e8me, comme le plus grand que je connais au coin nord-est du Parc La Fontaine. Pourtant, ce cimeti\u00e8re semble \u00eatre \u00e9tabli vers 1850 quand le Village du Bic est \u00e9tabli.<\/p>\n

\"Un<\/a>
Un m\u00e9moire bien prot\u00e9g\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Je dois vous avouer que j’oublie le nom de la personne-ci enterr\u00e9e mais je me souviens que son nom \u00e9tait fran\u00e7ais. Mais, je soup\u00e7onne une sensibilit\u00e9 \u00e9cossaise quelque part dans son identit\u00e9. Pourquoi? Parce que les Protestants plantent souvent des arbres en association avec leurs morts. C’est par croyance que le renouvellement constant de l’arbre gardera vivante en perp\u00e9tuit\u00e9 l’esprit de la personne partie.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Au Cimeti\u00e8re du Mont-Royal, on voit maints exemples de cette pratique. Lui, comme le cimeti\u00e8re du Bic, a des d\u00e9buts \u00e9cossais. Bic, avant d’\u00eatre un village, \u00e9tait la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 d’un Monsieur William Daring Campbell! Chez nous, c’\u00e9tait un Dr. McCulloch qu\u2019\u00e9tait propri\u00e9taire de la ferme Springrove, l’\u00e9ventuel terrain du cimeti\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Notre “cimeti\u00e8re protestant,” comme on l’appelle souvent \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, est plein d’arbres. Certains \u00e9taient plant\u00e9s au moment d’un enterrement, mais il y en a beaucoup qui sont des vestiges de la for\u00eat de Mont-Royal qui restaient sur la ferme de McCulloch. En fait, le terrain n’aurait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 tellement cultiv\u00e9 pour l’agriculture car c’\u00e9tait escarp\u00e9 et mar\u00e9cageux. C’\u00e9tait probablement un petit refuge de la ville\u00a0 pour Dr. McCulloch et lui servait comme terrain pour la chasse.<\/p>\n

Comme tous les grands parcs de Montr\u00e9al (Parc La Fontaine et Ile Ste-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne, inaugur\u00e9 en 1874, Parc Mont Royal en 1876, Parc Westmount en 1899), les terrains o\u00f9 ils se trouvent \u00e9taient rejet\u00e9s soit pour l’agriculture, soit pour l’habitation \u00e0 cause des conditions trop difficiles. (La seule exception \u00e0 cette r\u00e8gle est le terrain de l’Universit\u00e9 McGill, paysag\u00e9 \u00e0 partir de 1855, qui \u00e9tait de la bonne terre et assez plat mais r\u00e9serv\u00e9 strictement \u00e0 des fins de cr\u00e9er une universit\u00e9.)<\/p>\n

Le fait que le terrain de McCulloch \u00e9tait peu d\u00e9v\u00e9lop\u00e9 et que les fondateurs du cimeti\u00e8re voulaient un cimeti\u00e8re “rural,” au style de P\u00e8re Lachaise \u00e0 Paris (1804) et Mont Auburn au Massachusetts (1831), notre cimeti\u00e8re est un parc plein de tr\u00e8s vielles esp\u00e8ces indig\u00e8nes et des esp\u00e8ces exotiques \u00e9galement d’un bon \u00e2ge et bonne taille. Cette semaine, en planifiant mon circuit pour ce dimanche, j’ai \u00e9t\u00e9 frapp\u00e9e pas l’immensit\u00e9 des caryers cordiformes, chicots f\u00e9viers, cerisiers tardifs et \u00e9rables \u00e0 sucre.<\/p>\n

En fait, j’ai constat\u00e9 plus de caryers cordiformes matures (150-200 ans) \u00e0 un seul endroit que je n’ai jamais vu ailleurs au Qu\u00e9bec. Cet arbre qui, avec l’\u00e9rable \u00e0 sucre, repr\u00e9sente le climax de notre domaine forestier, l’\u00e9rabli\u00e8re \u00e0 caryer cordiforme, est rare. J’en connais sur le Mont-Royalmais ils sont assez jeunes. Puis, il y a le vieux caryer de C\u00f4te St-Luc dont je vous ai parl\u00e9 la semaine derni\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Assez d\u00e9j\u00e0. C’est mieux que vous exp\u00e9rimenter le lieu et ses habitants sylvains que je vous en parle plus.<\/p>\n

Pour l’horaire \u00e9volutif d’autres visites guid\u00e9es des arbres de cet automne, v\u00e9rifiez chez Les promenades dans la For\u00eat Montr\u00e9al.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
