National Forest Week: Forests for People – September 18 to 24, 2011

International Year of Forests: Forests for people

Poster-front side

During National Forest Week, Canadians are invited to learn more about Canada’s forest heritage and to raise awareness about this valuable and renewable resource.

This year is unique as the United Nations has declared 2011 the International Year of Forests and has chosen Forests for People as the theme. Wednesday, September 21, will mark Canada’s first ever National Tree Day, celebrating the benefits that trees provide. Throughout the week, take time to appreciate trees and forests in your community as well as the enjoyment and contribution they bring to everyday life.

National Forest Week, originally established as Forest Fire Prevention Week in 1926, is observed annually during the last full week of September. Participate in your community events.
