This week Canada is celebrating National Forest Week!
In Fredericton, New Brunswick the CISV-Eco Group has been working for many years to re-establish the Bur Oak to its historic range and habit in the Saint John River Valley. We've planted over 600 of these native trees! We've worked with community groups like Scouts, Guides and Environmental Groups. We've made many presentations to schools and community groups locally, nationally and internationally. Our group holds the New Brunswick Environmental Youth Leadership Award for 2007 for our work with the bur oak project. We are currently preparing for our trip to Japan to help present the Youth Accord and we look forward to seeing what kinds of trees and other biodiversity exist in Japan! We encourage all youth to take action and plant a native tree in your area, Happy Forest Week!
