The District of Mackenzie Celebrates National Forest Week – September 21 – 27, 2025
National Forest Week 2025
Originally established in 1920 as Forest Fire Prevention Week and later renamed in 1967 to what is known today, National Forest Week encourages a greater public awareness of Canada's forests as a valuable, renewable and green resource. It challenges Canadians to learn more about the forest sector, and its significance to our culture, traditions, economy, history, environment, and future. Over National Forest Week, several events take place across the country, connecting thousands of Canadians to this vast natural resource, and instilling pride in Canada's forest sector!
Each year, the CIF-IFC leads this one-week campaign, which includes coordinating a theme:
Roots of Resilience: From Seed to Canopy
From time immemorial Canada’s forests have anchored the economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability of communities. Science and innovation underpin healthy forests from inception to maturity.
