Meetings have taken place between the Meewasin Valley Authority, City of Saskatoon Stewards and Stakeholders of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area have met with to set a plan and procedure into place.
The Stewards and Stakeholders of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area are working towards a partnership with pupils in Saskatoon. It is an initiative to encourage environmental stewardship and awareness which can best be developed by beginning at a young age, and reinforced through daily activities such as this one.
Sask Outdoors, your support of this local environment project is truly invaluable, as is the mission which you advocate to “encourage educators and people who participate in outdoor recreation to practice and teach environmental responsibility. Explore. Play. Learn.”

“I believed that God has lent us the Earth. It belongs as much to those who come after us as to us, and it ill behooves us by anything we do or neglect, to deprive them of benefits which are in our power to bequeath.” Richard St. Barbe Baker
Stand firm. Grip hard.
Thrust upward to the skies.
Bend to the winds of heaven.
And learn tranquility.
~Richard St. Barbe Baker
“We feel that our greatest victory remains to be won when man will realize his oneness with the trees, the creatures and with all living things, not ours to destroy, but to be handed on for the enjoyment of future generations.” – Richard St. Barbe Baker
“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”― John Burroughs
