Arbor Week (May 20-28) was proclaimed by the Province of Saskatchewan in 2020 as an annual celebration and a tribute to urban trees. yxe
Our group successfully lobbied the provincial and civic governments to increase budgets and expand tree-care programs to better protect the American elm and manage DED in Saskatoon and other Saskatchewan communities. From there we have gradually expanded our goals to promote the care, understanding and appreciation of all species in the urban forest.
Other local organizations such as Meewasin Valley Authority, Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas, and Saskatoon Nature Society will join in with their own tree activities. The cornerstone event will be a blitz to plant trees and other plants for a natural area at Sutherland School. This planting project will be done in collaboration with specialists providing advice in plant selection, design and site preparation.
Planting a tree empowers children to realize that they can make a difference for their community, wildlife, and the environment. We invite everyone to come out to celebrate Arbor Week with us, and be part of getting more trees in the ground and expanding Saskatoon’s urban forest canopy.Article contentRecommended from Editorial
