virtual learning – Forests of Memory. Forests of Learning. Forests for Life.

Join us for Voices from the Afforestation Frontlines – Advancing Sustainable Solutions for a Resilient Planet, a global four-part webinar series that brings together experts, communities, and citizens from Canada, the United States, and around the globe. Across 90-minute sessions on Zoom, from October to November 2025, participants will explore the urgent call to action set forth by the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7) under the theme “Advancing sustainable solutions for a resilient planet.” In response to this global challenge, Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. invites you to listen, learn, and act alongside diverse voices dedicated to the stewardship of our shared home.

The series is a living conversation at the intersection of humanity, wildlife, and the ecosystems we inhabit. It illuminates the pathways through which climate change, biodiversity loss, and unsustainable human-nature relationships may be addressed with care, wisdom, and community-led action.
