Act of Kindness

Can you help the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc Charity? Gore Mutual is giving $5,000 to nominated charities! Can you send in a tweet to help the Saskatoon afforestation areas? Can you use Gore Mutual’s social media channels, particularly those using the tags #GivingTuesdayCA and #GoreMutual using #GivingTuesdayCA #GoreMutual and mentioning how the Friends made a difference in your community. That is a terrific means to nominate the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. Charity! That would be an amazing act of kindness to celebrate the global movement @GivingTuesdayCa!

Can you spread the word to your friends and family? Become a Saskatoon Wild Forest Angel, [guardian – steward] and make a difference for nature in the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and in George Genereux Urban Regional Park. The afforestation areas could really benefit from $5,000, and all you need to do to become a Saskatoon Wild Forest Angel is tweet your nomination! How easy is that! 😉

Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a sign up saying Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area? Wouldn’t it be delightful to have a park identification sign for George Genereux Urban Regional Park? What about those who dump trash in the park? Wouldn’t it be great to have gates installed so that the buniuks who dump trash in a forest cannot get in? Can you help – all it takes is a tweet on twitter, and share with your friends and family to make a tweet also 😉

“The future of the planet concerns all of us, and all of us should do what we can to protect it. ” Wangari Maathai.

“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 nations 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.

  The simple act of planting a tree, which is in itself a practical deed, is also the symbol of a far reaching ideal, which is creative in the realm of the Spirit, and in turn reacts upon society, encouraging all to work for the future well being of humanity rather than for immediate gain. Richard St. Barbe Baker

 

“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
