In the gentle embrace of Earth Month, we are invited to pause and reflect on the beauty and fragility of our precious planet. Like a sacred poem whispered by the wind, the Earth speaks to us, reminding us of our interconnectedness and shared destiny.
As we contemplate the significance of this sacred time, let us pay homage to Mother Earth, the source of all life and sustenance. From the whispering forests to the flowing rivers, she nourishes our spirits and replenishes our souls.
In the spirit of wahkohtowin, let us honor the relationships that bind us to the Earth and all living beings. Let us tread lightly upon the land, mindful of our impact and our responsibility to protect and preserve the natural world for future generations.
Join us in the City Nature Challenge CNC YXE 2024 April 26-29, a celebration of the Earth’s biodiversity and a testament to our collective commitment to environmental stewardship. Let us come together as one family, united in our love for the Earth and our determination to create a more sustainable and harmonious world.
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.
