The City of Edmonton’s Community Forestry team and the Knottwood Community League invite you to join us in celebrating National Forest Week with the planting of 20 new trees in the Satoo, Menisa, and Ekota communities.
Step outside, connect with nature, and discover the many benefits of Edmonton’s urban forest.
This free, family-friendly event will feature:
-
A guided tree walk exploring Edmonton’s tree species
-
A dendrochronology station hosted by the Northern Forestry Centre
-
A beneficial bug display
-
Indigenous teachings and perspectives from the land
-
An “Ask an Arborist” booth
You’ll also meet local groups including CPAWS with their Grand Tour of Alberta conservation board game, YEG’s Touch Grass Club, and local landscaping experts.
National Forest Week is a time for Canadians to celebrate our forests and the countless ways they support our lives. This year’s theme is Roots to Resilience—learn how forests protect biodiversity and why they are vital to Edmonton’s future.
