Initiated by La Fondation Cowboys Fringants in collaboration with ENvironnement JEUnesse, the Nos forêts chantées (Our Sung Forests) creative project aimed to mobilize and raise awareness among 2nd-cycle high school students (and one CEGEP group) across Quebec regarding forest-related issues.

The Nos forêts chantées project led to the creation of an album of songs on the theme of Quebec’s forests, with lyrics written by students from all over the province. The lyrics were set to music and performed by socially committed artists.

Through educational and awareness-raising workshops on the forest, the project stimulated young people's interest in French-language music, their creativity through writing, and their understanding of issues related to forests.

Admirably co-produced by Sébastien Blais-Montpetit and Simon Landry, with the contribution of Chafik for the song Nutshimit, this album is of astonishing beauty. Each piece carries its own personality and sensitive flair, magnified by inspired compositions. The perceptive outlook and talent of these young people from all across Quebec are remarkable and truly touching. A superb album, a proud and successful mission!
