The sustainable future of Canada’s forests is shaped by science and innovation. From advanced monitoring technologies to evolving management practices, innovation-driven forestry balances ecological integrity with economic opportunity. By embracing science, innovation and diverse global perspectives, we support resilient forests that will provide environmental, social, and economic benefits in a changing world. Discover how innovation is shaping a sustainable forestry future by following #NationalForestWeek. From September 20-26, 2026, we’re inviting Canadians to learn more about the forest sector and its significance to Canada’s culture, history, and future, while also supporting a greater recognition of forests as a valuable, renewable and green resource. To help you celebrate, we have created daily sub-themes, a social media content schedule, activities, contests, and resources. There are also a number of NFW events that take place across Canada, and additional ways to participate such as taking a walk in the woods nearby or organizing a tree plant.
