September 19 - 25, 2021
National Forest Week is an annual one-week Canadian Institute of Forestry campaign that challenges Canadians to learn more about the forest sector and its significance to Canada, while also supporting a greater recognition of forests as a valuable green resource. This year's theme "Our Forests - Continually Giving”, highlights the link between us and the forests.
