Canada’s Diverse Forests Are Connected to Our Everyday Lives

Under the theme “Our Forests — Continually Giving,” National Forest Week (NFW), running from September 19 to 25, 2021, celebrates how Canada’s diverse forests are connected to our everyday lives.

Led by the Canadian Institute of Forestry/ Institut forestier du Canada (CIF-IFC) this campaign highlights how forests offer a variety of products as well as social, cultural, and health benefits.

“Forests are more important now than ever, serving as a beacon of renewal, resilience, and hope for the future,” says CIF-IFC Executive Director, Mark Pearson. “As we look ahead, through sustainable forest management, we can ensure our forests are renewed and remain resilient.”

There are many ways to participate in NFW: following daily sub-themes on CIFIFC’S social media, organizing a tree plant, exploring a local forest, or learning more about forests and sustainable forest management.
