Embracing the Earth’s Resilience: A Journey of Renewal for Earth Week

In the quietude of dawn, as the first light kisses the Earth’s surface, lies a symphony of life waiting to be heard. Earth Week beckons us to listen—to the rustle of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the gentle rhythm of nature’s heartbeat.

The sixth mass extinction, a solemn reminder of humanity’s impact on the planet, calls us to action. As we reflect on the interconnectedness of all living beings, let us embrace the Earth’s resilience and embark on a journey of renewal.

From protecting wildlife corridors to incorporating native species, every action we take reverberates through the tapestry of life. Let us reduce, reuse, and recycle, leaving no trace but footprints of reverence for the Earth.

As we celebrate Earth Week, let us honor the UN SDG Life on Land and Sustainable Cities and Communities. Join us in the City Nature Challenge CNC YXE 2024 from April 26 to 29, where we can bear witness to the Earth’s beauty and contribute to its preservation. Together, let us sow the seeds of hope and nurture a future where all life thrives in harmony with nature. Check out the four events scheduled.

With thanks to our sponsors and supporters SaskPower, SaskTel, Saskatoon Nature Society, Wild About Saskatoon, Varsity View Community Association, Rosewood Varsity View Community Association, Nutana Varsity View Community Association, Montgomery Place Varsity View Community Association. City Nature Challenge Saskatoon CNC YXE 2024 led by Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas.

This website is about the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area - an urban regional park of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The hosts are the stewards of the afforestation area. The afforestation area received its name in honour of the great humanitarian, Richard St. Barbe Baker. Richard St. Barbe Baker (9 October 1889 – 9 June 1982) was an English forester, environmental activist and author, who contributed greatly to worldwide reforestation efforts. As a leader, he founded an organization, Men of the Trees, still active today, whose many chapters carry out reforestation internationally. {Wikipedia} Email is StBarbeBaker AT yahoo.com to reach the Stewards of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area
