National Forest Week brings attention to our forests and trees from coast to coast across Canada.  Maple Leaf Day (or National Forest Day) takes place the third Wednesday of September, which in 2022 is September 21.  National Forest Week are the days around Maple Leaf Day.

Richard St. Barbe Baker said it this way,  “If a person loses one third of his or her skin, the person will die; if a tree loses a third of its bark, the tree will die, and if the world loses a third of its trees, the world will die.
We live less that five minutes without air and the trees give us air we breathe.  We live less than five days without water, and trees are absolutely essential in the water cycle.  We live less than five weeks without food, and without the trees we could not grow food.” (Filson, Bruce K. October 7, 1982, Western People, p. 5)
