May 24 BioBlitz

 https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/citizen-gathering-ecological-assessment-humboldt-strong-forest-tickets-1989332897247?aff=oddtdtcreator

🌱 The Memorial Healing Forest is growing from vision into reality near Clavet, Saskatchewan — a living landscape of remembrance, restoration, and community hope inspired by Humboldt Strong and the spirit of the Highway of Heroes.

This is more than getting ready for a tree-planting project. It is a long-term commitment to prairie restoration, biodiversity, climate resilience, and healing through nature. Every volunteer hour, every seed, every sapling, and every act of care helps shape a forest that will stand for generations.

📅 Upcoming opportunities to get involved:

🌿 May 24 Ecological Assessment (BioBlitz)
Join us using the free iNaturalist app to document local biodiversity.
It’s simple:
1️⃣ Find it
2️⃣ Take a photo
3️⃣ Share it

Your observations directly support citizen science, restoration planning, and ecological research.

🌱 June Public Engagement Sessions
Learn more about the project, public engagement sessions in June, upcoming restoration plans, and how you can contribute through volunteering, materials, and stewardship.

This project brings together community members, schools, families, and organizations to create something lasting — a forest built not only from trees, but from shared purpose and care for the land.

💚 From highway to habitat
💚 From loss to living forest
💚 From memory to regeneration

Every action helps this forest grow.

🌍 International Day of Zero Waste – March 30 🌍

  🌍 International Day of Zero Waste – March 30 🌍 As we approach International Day of Zero Waste, we are reminded of the growing urgency to tackle plastic pollution and embrace sustainable, circular approaches to production and consumption. Plastics have become integral to our daily lives, but the environmental toll is undeniable—more than 350 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced annually, and less than 9% is recycled. 🌱 The solution? A circular economy, where plastic materials are reused, recycled, and innovated into new products. The City of Saskatoon and organizations like Sarcan are leading the way by strengthening recycling markets and reducing single-use plastics. ♻️ Today, we also reflect on the critical role that policy, innovation, and community efforts play in addressing plastic pollution. The Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas, along with community volunteers, have already removed over 87,600 kg of hazardous waste from our local afforestation areas, a...
