🌳 As #NationalForestWeek wraps up, here's one simple way to support nature: plant native.

Native trees and shrubs help provide food and shelter for wildlife and are adapted to thrive where you live.

#NationalForestWeek is coming to a close, but we’ll be back again next week to protect ancient forests across Canada. For our final forest post, we’re showing the Walbran Valley in Pacheedaht territory, one of a dwindling number of valley-bottom old-growth forests in B.C.

Strong forests start in our neighbourhoods. Trees in our streets, yards, parks and business areas all contribute to Hamilton’s urban forest. Protecting it takes teamwork. Learn how you can help care for local trees: hamilton.ca/TreeOwnership #NationalForestWeek

As #NationalForestWeek comes to an end, we want to say a special thank you to our incredible Forest Management team, who work tirelessly to keep the Dufferin County Forest healthy and thriving.
