New National Forest Week Opportunities coming your way

The launch event for the National Forest Week webinar and in-person event series is scheduled for Saturday September 18, and the excitement will continue until Sunday September 26. The goal is to promote discussion about trees and forests, and their multiple and essential benefits. The health of trees is being affected by climate change but trees are also a necessary solution in mitigating it. We aim to raise awareness about what trees and forests give us and what we need to do in return to protect and enhance trees and forests. Its our mission to continue bringing education and awareness for environmental protections, and nature based solutions to climate action. If you are interested in speaker or mentorship opportunities with the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. Contact us.

3 Things Everyone Knows About Clean-ups That You Don’t

While you are out at the George Genereux Urban Regional Park on June 5 helping out with the Clean Green Community Scene, you are actually taking part in the first day of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration!

The UN Virtual Launch Gala will take place June 4-5. From the beginner’s guide on eco-system restoration: “This year, 5 June, World Environment Day, marks the official launch of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, a 10-year push to halt and reverse the decline of the natural world. “

Did you know that to date more than 25,030 kg or 55,181.7 pounds of trash have been removed from the Saskatoon afforestation areas eco-system?

I don’t want to protect the environment. I want to create a world where the environment doesn’t need protection.
Anonymous

Can you celebrate that this may be the date of the last major afforestation area clean up?

I don’t want to protect the environment. I want to create a world where the environment doesn’t need protection.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Did you know that afforestation areas are amazing nature-based solutions to climate change?

If we pollute the air, water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us.
David Suzuki

Now that SK is moving into Step One which will see the cautious easing of public health measures across the province. New Changes to public health orders in Step One will include:

Limit of 150 people at public outdoor gatherings; and <—- great news for the George Genereux Park clean up on Saturday June 5, but now needs massive networking and sharing of information via email blitz, word of mouth etc. (please and thank you) The park is 147.8 acres in size about 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile square, so lots of room to socially distance, and we have trail maps! Refreshments! Extra facemasks!
Current province-wide masking mandate remains in place.

Don’t Just Sit There! See the Super Flower Wolf Blood moon Lunar eclipse!

The Super blood moon occurs in the early morning hours of May 26 [tonight]. Take this opportunity to celebrate Tourism Week here in Canada and in the #afforestationareas. The Super flower blood wolf moon lunar eclipse which will begin in Saskatoon on Wednesday May 26 at 2:47 a.m., will feature the best of the best viewing time at 5:01 a.m., and ending at 5:06 a.m. So this means, according to TimeandDate, that there will be 2 hours and 18 minutes to view this total lunar eclipse at the afforestation areas (he forecast is for partially clouded skies) This event will appear as a partial lunar eclipse in Saskatoon.

lunar eclipse: 'super blood wolf moon' — lunar eclipse: ‘super blood wolf moon’

2019 lunar eclipse: 'super blood wolf moon' — lunar eclipse: ‘super blood wolf moon’

Today, during Tourism Week across Canada! We agree with the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC), that “We encourage all Canadians this #TourismWeek, to take the pledge, and when you are able, plan and travel in Canada this year!“ Why not venture out to the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas, and enjoy Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area or George Genereux Urban Regional park in the City of Saskatoon. They are great places to socially distance in 326 acres and 147.8 acres respectively.

These earthly godfathers of Heaven’s lights, that give a name to every fixed star, have no more profit of their shining nights than those that walk and know not what they are.

Astronomy is, not without reason, regarded, by mankind, as the sublimest of the natural sciences. Its objects so frequently visible, and therefore familiar, being always remote and inaccessible, do not lose their dignity.

Red arrow out at Richard St Barbe Baker Afforestation Area Saskatoon Police Services Canine Training Unit

For the past three or four years, visitors to the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area may have noticed bright orange arrows painted on the ground.

Folks may have wondered what kind of event could this be? When does it take place? Can I walk my dogs at the South West Off Leash Recreation Arrow with the arrows on the ground?

The arrows are to provide a course for the new recruits into the Saskatoon Police Canine Unit. It is a rigorous workout, and those recruits whom are successful pass one of the challenges in eligibility for working with the Saskatoon Police Canine Unit. The training session occurs early on an autumnal morning.

Twitter provides updates on the day to day hard work of the canine unit. However, police services are not all that they are involved in. The canine unit works to support conservation, visit sick kids in hospital, and work as therapy dogs in the community.

“Police officers chosen to be dog handlers must be in above average physical condition, comfortable around animals, and possess the ability to read the dog’s body language.”(SPS)

“St. Barbe’s unique capacity to pass on his enthusiasm to others. . . Many foresters all over the world found their vocations as a result of hearing ‘The Man of the Trees’ speak. I certainly did, but his impact has been much wider than that. Through his global lecture tours, St. Barbe has made millions of people aware of the importance of trees and forests to our planet.” Allan Grainger

“The science of forestry arose from the recognition of a universal need. It embodies the spirit of service to mankind in attempting to provide a means of supplying forever a necessity of life and, in addition, ministering to man’s aesthetic tastes and recreational interests. Besides, the spiritual side of human nature needs the refreshing inspiration which comes from trees and woodlands. If a nation saves its trees, the trees will save the nation. And nations as well as tribes may be brought together in this great movement, based on the ideal of beautifying the world by the cultivation of one of God’s loveliest creatures – the tree.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker.

“I believe in the Oneness of Mankind and all living things and the interdependence of each and all.” Richard St. Barbe Baker

“Be gentle – gentle – gentle with the tree,….Put your hands like this to bless it…I want you to feel your love going out from your fingertips to the …[tree], and, you know, this will help it grow, make it happy…We love to be blessed don’t we? And the trees love to be blessed. ..” ~Richard St. Barbe Baker

Afforestation Workshop

“When the trees go, the rain goes, the climate deteriorates, the water table sinks, the land erodes and desert conditions soon appear” ~Richard St. Barbe Baker

“What do the forests bear? Soil, water and pure air–soil, water and pure air are the basis of life; this is the slogan of the Chipko (Hug to the Trees) women in India–those who work with Sunderlal Bahuguna to save the forests of the Himalayas. Sunderlal is my Guru”.~Richard St. Barbe Baker

The Wild About Saskatoon 2017 NatureCity Festival theme this year is ‘We are water: explore our prairie waterscape.’ The festival takes place with a wide assortment of events May 23-28, 2017. The Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area joins the festivities Thursday afternoon May 25, 2017 between 1:30 and 3:15. Situated in a low lying area classified as a “wetlands”, the afforestation workshop participants will be immersed in the forest and woodlands in the southwest sector of Saskatoon. The workshop was compiled from the books and teachings of Dr. Richard St. Barbe Baker, L.L.D., O.B.E., humanitarian, author, silviculturist and forester. In this way we embrace the teachings of this Baba Wya Miti ~ loving Father of Trees.

“Omitakoyasin. The Omitakoyasin are the spirits of all of humanity’s ancestors, since always and for always. “We are all related.” It is important to realize that every single person who enters into our lives, from the passing stranger to those nearest and dearest to us, is present because we dreamed them here. We made a mutual agreement with each of them to connect in this time and space for the purpose of enriching and empowering our individual and collective evolution.~Lynette Hopkin“

Arrive at the parking lot of the South West off leash dog park for 1:30 p.m. on Thursday May 25, 2017 should you wish to partake in this workshop activities. Directions and map are included below. Though the meeting place will be the SW off leash recreation area parking lot, the Afforestation Workshop will take place in the forest east of the dog park, and not in the dog park itself.

“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 is the “Skin” of the earth, for without it there can be no water and, therefore, no life.”~Richard St. Barbe Baker

Note

There will be no actual planting or “afforestation of trees” at the location of this workshop, this afforestation workshop is so named as it takes place within an “afforestation area” – the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area.
