NATIONAL FOREST WEEK
ANNUAL CONTEST

Submissions should depict the theme of how we can learn to implement Indigenous traditions with modern technologies to sustain healthy forests for future generations.

You may also want to explore our Traditional Knowledge archive to see examples of how our forests have played a role in providing Indigenous medicine and culture. Explore our interview with an Indigenous leader who explains “cultural burning” of forests to keep them healthy here. Feel free to subscribe to our channel for more facts and insights.
 

Other examples of forest roles are homes for animals; plants supporting other plants (ex. nurse stumps). 

Forests also support humans through: recreation, wood products to build our homes and schools,  pharmaceuticals like cancer drugs, as well as our economy & careers.
