Celebrate National Forest Week (September 22-28) with the City and community partners!
Next week is National Forest Week! From September 22-28, 2024, we’re inviting residents to learn more about the importance of our urban forest and its significance to Canada’s culture, history, and future.
If you weren’t able to participate in the City’s sold out Fall Tree Giveaway this Saturday, there’s still ways to get involved during National Forest Week. Check out some engagement and education related opportunities below. Pre-registration is required for some of these events:
- Green Up Tree Planting Event at Millcroft Park – Saturday, September 21 at 9:30 a.m.
- Ask an Arborist Webinar – Wednesday, September 25 at 7 p.m. (online)
