National Forest Week: Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities
The forest industry and other forest stakeholders are marking National Forest Week, September 23-29, by celebrating the connection between healthy forests and healthy communities. National Forest Week is sponsored across Canada by the Canadian Forestry Association and regionally by provincial forestry agencies, corporations, associations and individuals.
In Whitecourt, local companies Millar Western, Alberta Newsprint Company and West Fraser-Blue Ridge worked jointly to make the public aware that this week is dedicated to celebrating the environmental, economic and social importance of healthy forests.
