The Globe and Mail has several featured stories this week in support of National Forest Week

• National Forest Week inspiring reflections on what trees mean to us: “Globally, a lot of people see Canada as a place with lots of forest and wilderness, and Canadians also regard this as part of our identity,” says Jess Kaknevicius, CEO at Forests Ontario, a non-profit charity working to create forested landscapes that support healthy biodiversity and local economies. 
• Flying towards reconciliation: transforming forestry and helping First Nations prosper: Jacob Taylor, CEO of Orijinative Aerial Innovations Limited, headquartered in Ts’kw’aylaxw, also known as Pavilion, British Columbia, has positioned his company to explore and expand the rapid growth and potential of using drones for a variety of forestry-based applications.
• Planting trees where Canadians live, work and play: The best way to celebrate National Forest Week is by getting outside, and maybe even plant trees, believes Mark Cullen, founding chair, Trees For Life. “We believe that the trees that benefit humans most are planted among us. Or maybe, we live among the trees?”
