Fencing at George Genereux Park

So the fencing is just about completed at George Genereux Park in Saskatoon. When one thinks about how long it takes to fence in a homeowners property, and how long it takes, it is absolutely mind boggling that a quarter section of land is receiving fencing within such a time frame.

The posts started going in the ground on Tues Sept 21, the posts are all completed, and the wire has an amazing start as well. Come out, have a walk in the forest, and be amazed at the difference that the greenspace now has.

Here are some pictures of how the afforestation area at George Genereux park looks now. We will place more tags and reflector tape next week to protect animals.

This is a wonderful way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of #NationalForestWeek, and the 50th anniversary of the afforestation areas!

This fencing went up with advice from the City of Saskatoon and Meewasin, and with the amazing support of the Government of Canada.

So, under the advisement of the City of Saskatoon and Meewasin, George Genereux Park has fencing in the style of the North East Swale, which is wildlife friendly fencing so the animals can hop/fly over top, and sneak underneath. Tagging helps the animals to visually see the fencing if they are running around.

CKQ fencing (CKQ Fence Construction) were the contractors, and as mentioned, if your want an excellent wildlife friendly fencing, this is a great choice for contractors.

Stay tuned for more about tagging and a call for volunteers .

End Racism. Build Peace

The United Nations International Day of Peace was declared for 21 September. The theme in 2022 is “End Racism. Build Peace”

“Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.” — Dalai Lama

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

“Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are.”
Hafsat Abiola

“World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.”
Dalai Lama

“We can go deeper to understand ourselves not only as members of one race against another but as fellow citizens with common dream for our future, hopes for our children, and commitments to better nation. In the end, we can and must shed ourselves of our racial idols and divisions that have bound and separated us, and find our dignity together as the children of God all made in the image of the One who loves us all.”
— Jim Wallis

As you walk, run, cycle through the afforestation areas, say “Hi, how are you?” to everyone you meet as if they were your kin, family, or friend!

Stories, legends, and tales

Have you ever sought to track the soul of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas into its most secret places, and to make these woodlands confess its dearest sins. The forest who would stir us now by its stories, legends and tales must either give us an entirely new background, or reveal to us the soul of the wildwoods. The forest as story-teller gives a glimpse into the story that he tells us. The forest has seen marvellous things through knotholes. Its background is a woven tapestry of tales. Meet the afforestation areas, and touch the surface of their hidden stories, their secret places, their point of view.

National Forest Week brings attention to our forests and trees from coast to coast across Canada. Our forests and trees provide habitats for wildlife, insects, polllinator species, birds and so much more! What is the ‘triple environmental emergency we are facing?

1. Loss of biodiversity
2. Climate change
3. Out of control pollution.

Out of control pollution.
Our native biodiversity needs wild spaces, food and homes such as trees and forests provide in which to thrive. Forests, tree planting, and forest conservation initiatives are nature-based solutions towards climate action. Pollution, pesticides, herbicides are escalating the extinction events. Creating safe, organic forest spaces is a large step to halt and slow down the silent sixth mass extinction event of invertebrates, the planet’s bird food on wings. Ornithologists and botanists have noticed that the songbird, and raptor populations have declined by a staggering 48%. The monitored wildlife populations are reduced by a catastrophic 68%. A loss of forests and habitats have caused over 2/3 of our animal populations to totally disappear.

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)

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)

Find your forest and share the story about your tree friend

In the days leading up to #NationalForestWeek

 Let people know about a forest you like to visit

 Share the location of a unique tree

 Tell a story about your favourite native tree

 Create a post on social media letting everyone know what event you have to offer about your favourite tree or forest

 Get together with other environmental groups to promote your forest or tree places by a networking event

There is no mood or passion that the forest cannot give us, and those of us who have discovered her secret can settle beforehand what our experiences are going to be. We can choose our day and select our hour. And lo! the dawn finds us in the obscure wood. Together witnessing the film expose the afforestation secrets, we pass through into the realm of legend. With pity or with joy, the secrets revealed, behold the stories and tales of another world, another time. Let us at least suppose so for the moment—that at the film -we settle down to discovering the real intention and the stories of the afforestation areas. Those stories which etch and mould the form of the afforestation areas.

Secrets, Elusive, Evasive

A secret is elusive and evasive. So it is with the afforestation areas. Many stories hide and lurk in and about the afforestation areas. And so the picture in the film – the imagery revealed in the film -Wildwoods of Saskatoon- becomes more wonderful to us than it really is, and reveals to us a secret of which, in truth, it knows nothing, and the music of the mystical prose is as sweet in our ears as was that flute. And in this it is right, for the meaning of any beautiful created thing – such as the afforestation areas – are, at least, as much in the soul of him who looks at it, as it was in his soul who wrought it.  Nay, it is rather the beholder who lends to the beautiful thing its myriae age, so that it becomes a vital portion of our lives, and a symbol of what we yearn for, or perhaps of what, having yearned for, we wonder what we may receive.

The Charm of the Afforestation Areas

The secret of the charm of the afforestation areas, I imagine, is traceable to the fact that there is distinctly something mysterious, unknown, and heretofore hidden. From this it will be seen that I am not claiming a discovery; that what I have called a secret of the charm of the afforestation areas is a secret known to every man, woman, and child, even to those of my own friends who stoutly deny that they have any such knowledge. But I think it is best known to children. What I am here doing is merely to bring together and put in form certain more or less vague thoughts and feelings which I (and therefore all of us) have about the afforestation areas; and it is a small matter, but it happens to be one which no person has hitherto attempted.

The Afforestation Area Secrets Revealed

What do you know about the afforestation areas?

The afforestation areas are an enigma. There are so many secrets to unravel!

Come to the film Wildwoods of Saskatoon where it will be revealed —the secret of their charm. What has been hiding? A deep dive tries to explain the individual and very special charm of this these particular forests—what I have ventured to call the secret of the afforestation areas — to be revealed.Sunday Sept 18 at 2:00pm. After all, it is not a deeply hidden secret, and has indeed been half guessed or hinted by various writers expounding upon the heritage and mystery of the afforestation areas. What secrets are hiding which come out in the film? The forests have held secrets, and now, the woodlands will have no secrets from the world, and the stories do not want to hide any longer.

To these and many more questions come to the Wildwoods of Saskatoon heritage documentary on Sunday Sept 18 at 2:00pm Register now

At the follow up place based forest tours Sept 24 and 25 meet Forest Guide: Sam Ereke, BSc, MSc, Research Scientist who will also be leading the Saskatoon and Area BioDiversity Challenge iNaturalist tours Sept 15-18.

National Forest Week brings attention to our forests and trees from coast to coast across Canada. Our forests and trees provide habitats for wildlife, insects, polllinator species, birds and so much more! What is the ‘triple environmental emergency we are facing?

1. Loss of biodiversity
2. Climate change
3. Out of control pollution.

Out of control pollution.
Our native biodiversity needs wild spaces, food and homes such as trees and forests provide in which to thrive. Forests, tree planting, and forest conservation initiatives are nature-based solutions towards climate action. Pollution, pesticides, herbicides are escalating the extinction events. Creating safe, organic forest spaces is a large step to halt and slow down the silent sixth mass extinction event of invertebrates, the planet’s bird food on wings. Ornithologists and botanists have noticed that the songbird, and raptor populations have declined by a staggering 48%. The monitored wildlife populations are reduced by a catastrophic 68%. A loss of forests and habitats have caused over 2/3 of our animal populations to totally disappear.

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)
