The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been a powerful supporter of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area. Latter-day Saints missionaries serve in public affairs serving to build relationships with communities. The inspiration of the missionaries who came from across North America offering their time and talents made a dedicated commitment to come from across North America to meet in Saskatoon to offer compassionate service during the 2016 clean up effort. Thank you to the missionaries who provided to the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area their multi-faceted humanitarian services.
Robert White, the official clean up photographer, member of the SOS Elms Coalition, close friend of Richard St. Barbe Baker, and a member of the Multi-Faith Saskatoon connected with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Stewards of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area are indebted to both Robert White, and the Elders and Mormon Missionaries from the Saskatoon, and Winnipeg Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
From across North America they came to serve at these churches, from there they agreed to kindly assist and help with the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area clean up. There is absolutely no denial that the helpful assistance, time and energy expended generously by these kind missionaries helped enormously. Thank you.
“We may climb mountains or wander through field and forest, intoxicated by loveliness through the changing hours and seasons recorded by the length of shadows cast by the trees-and as we watch the pink, opalescent fingers of the dawn reaching up from beneath the dark horizon, so we wait for the sunrise of our awakening to the realisation of our kinship with the earth and all living things.” ~Richard St. Barbe Baker

The trees and vegetation, which cover the land surface of the Earth and delight the eye, are performing vital tasks incumbent upon the vegetable world in nature. Its presence is essential to earth as an organism. It is the first condition of all life; it it the ‘skin’ of the earth, for without it there can be no water, and therefore, no life.~Richard St. Barbe Baker
It is not a farce.…”To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from.” ~Terry Tempest Williams

All three photos in the post are very nice but I think the lighting for the butterfly and flowers is magnificent. That photo was very well done both technically and aesthetically.
