Help create experiences that change students' lives by investing in the Gault Research Awards and the summer work experience.
A vital complement to the classroom
Field learning is an enriching experience that enhances the university journey. It allows students to take ownership of their education beyond the classroom. Research sparks their curiosity, helps them acquire new knowledge, and deepens their understanding of nature.
At the service of nature
With your support, we can apply the scientific research conducted at Gault to conservation, the environment, and biodiversity. Through their research, students will expand their knowledge and contribute to developing sustainable solutions to the challenges our society faces.
A concrete impact on students' lives
The Gault Research Awards provide financial support to students, helping them expand their theoretical and methodological knowledge. The awards fund research activities, including the purchase of scientific equipment, lodging, and travel.
A natural love story
The Gault Nature Reserve protects a precious remnant of ancestral forest. This ancient forest, virtually untouched since colonization, provides a unique setting for research and educational activities.
Continuing to preserve
Brigadier Andrew Hamilton Gault, a McGill alumnus, acquired his property on Mont Saint-Hilaire in 1913. Faced with rapid regional development, he fought tirelessly to protect the ecological integrity of his land. In 1958, he bequeathed the property to McGill University, confident that the institution could safeguard its preservation for future generations.
A renowned forest
Renowned scientists have explored the vast forests of Mont Saint-Hilaire, now world-renowned for the diversity of its minerals, fauna and flora. The first scientific studies date back to 1859.
