Support the non profit group The Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc

Join the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas, a non-profit environmental charity dedicated to preserving and enhancing the Richard St Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and George Genereux Urban Regional Park in Saskatoon. Our mission is to protect the biodiversity of these green spaces while engaging the community through education and outreach.

Explore the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the afforestation areas by joining our guided tours, webinars, and educational events. Learn about the rich geological and ecological significance of these sites and discover the diverse flora and fauna that call them home. Through our environmental restoration initiatives, we advocate for nature-based solutions for climate action and work towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Our commitment to environmental stewardship extends beyond education and advocacy. We actively protect these areas by organizing community clean-ups and installing barriers to prevent illegal dumping. Additionally, we provide educational materials for schools and produce documentaries to raise awareness about the importance of conservation.

At the heart of our organization is the belief that connecting with nature enhances our well-being and fosters a sense of belonging. Experience the transformative power of the natural world through our "Come to Nature, Come to Life" events, which promote health and wellness practices like forest bathing and mindfulness.

As we strive to preserve these treasured green spaces for future generations, we invite you to join us in our mission. Together, we can ensure that the afforestation areas remain thriving hubs of biodiversity and sources of inspiration for years to come. Join us today and become a friend of nature!
