This GivingTuesday, Tuesday, December 3, 2024, join Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas in a global movement of generosity, unity, and giving back to the environment and our community.
It’s simple: every act of generosity counts. Whether you give your time, your energy, or a financial gift, you can make a meaningful impact. Together, we can nurture the natural spaces we love, from the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area to the George Genereux Urban Regional Park, and make them places where wildlife, people, and nature thrive.
Get Involved – Here’s how YOU can give on GivingTuesday:
1. Give Your Time – Volunteer for a Greener Tomorrow!
Become part of the vibrant community that helps protect, preserve, and share the beauty of Saskatoon’s afforestation areas. We have many volunteer opportunities that need your help:
- Trail Maintenance Volunteer – Ensure our trails remain accessible and safe for all, from families to nature enthusiasts.
- Community Clean-Up Volunteer – Help keep our afforestation areas free of litter and pollutants, safeguarding the environment for generations to come.
- Invasive Species Removal – Join the battle to protect native plants and wildlife by early detection and rapid response by the iMapSkInvasives team to remove harmful invasive species from our precious habitats.
