This September, municipalities across Canada are participating in National Forest Week from September 18-24, 2022.
This one-week campaign that takes place during the last week of September each year challenges Canadians across the country to learn more about the forest sector and its significance to Canada’s culture, history, and future, while also supporting a greater recognition of forests as a valuable, renewable and green resource.
The theme this year "Canada’s Forests: Solutions for a Changing Climate”, will highlight the inextricable link between us and our forests. From local communities to vast woodlands, we will be celebrating the nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation provided by Canada’s forests. Forests help reduce climate change by trapping and storing greenhouse gases. Trees also soften the impacts of a changing climate and extreme weather by moderating
temperatures and protecting biodiversity. This year’s theme showcases the importance of sustainable forest practices, research, conservation, engineered wood products, and innovative technologies to provide solutions from Canadian forests. By emphasizing their role within climate change, our goal is to foster an enthusiasm for our forests and invite individuals to engage in sustainable action.
Participating in National Forest Week can be as simple as sharing posts social media using the hashtag #NationalForestWeek. The Resource Works Society will also be sharing stories about working forests and forestry communities throughout the week. Let us know what forests mean to you by using the hashtag #NationalForestWeek on social media.
