On behalf of everyone who are “Stewards of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area”, a thank you is extended to Maxie’s Excavating | Road Construction, Railway Constrction, Aggregate Supply, Industrial Site Grading in Saskatoon, SK for your donation of time, and equipment use. Maxie’s Excavating kindly provided the prerequisite ability and service of loading the barriers, transport, offloading and placement on site was Maxie’s Excavating. This feat took place in two separate loads on different days. The use of the specialized equipment -flatbed trailer, truck and loader- and the work of two operators was indeed very much appreciated. Your generosity, will not go unnoticed, and we truly hope that the wildlife habitat corridor can be retained as a spectacular environment following these efforts to mitigate motorized vehicle traffic into the woodlands. Those who creat and groom trails in the Richard St. Barbe Baker afforestation area, will also truly appreciate their work not being destroyed by motorized vehicles.
The highlight of preserving the afforestation area for this generation, and for future generations to come has been to learn of the generosity of Saskatoon, the kindness of the volunteers, and the action of the business community in preserving the environment and the trails with this support.
Your support is very much appreciated by all the volunteers, the community associations, the environmental groups, the bicycle groups and the individuals who make up the Stewards of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area. Your donation in support of the efforts to make Saskatoon a healthier, and a happier place to live in is deeply appreciated.

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
