Jean Lacasse

I’m a graduate in horticultural production of the Institut de technologie agroalimentaire du Québec in Saint-Hyacinthe, and have a bachelor’s degree in botany from McGill University with a specialization in molecular biology and plant-insect relations. I also hold certification in arboriculture. My academic career made it possible for me to work as a horticulturist in different environments, including nursery and greenhouse production and maintenance of green spaces in urban areas. I’ve also worked in the field of urban forestry, and carried out large-scale landscaping projects.

My current position allows me to develop and apply my knowledge and skills at the service of Espace pour la vie by actively contributing to the conservation and protection of the Biodôme’s flower collections.
