Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas Inc. August 2019. Update November 2019. Abstract: To assist the community in protecting your parcels of land that are loved by the general public. To make a difference, to feel good about saving your unique semi-wilderness hydro-riparian post-glacial natural habitat of the City of Saskatoon when biodiversity is rapidly plummeting. To instill a positive identity, the visualization of the full potential of your afforestation area. The circumstances and prevailing situations have created a milieu of deleterious land usage and other human impacts affording a negative public image of the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area greenspace. Interpretive signs deepen understanding and appreciation of the rich, noteworthy human, geological, historical and natural heritage of your greenspace. Engaging students in the dynamic connections between citizen science, global environmentalists, historical social factors, and the impacts of glacial spillways provides an unsurpassed emergent learning strategy. Connecting youth with their local culture, environment and history in community place-based action inquiry-learning research projects cultivates creativity, innovation, design and systems thinking creating 21st Century Leaders. A fresh promotion and branding of your Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area heritage by youth is energizing, instills pride in visitors and tourists and attracts many visitors from abroad as well as locally. It’s a contagious excitement to see students being part of a local movement, of coming together and taking real action to express their sense of wonder at the city around them, in your Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area, and to feel deeply connected to the heritage story, the forest, wetlands, plants and animals. Understanding our civic cultural heritage begins the process, then you value it, from there it grows into caring for our culture and expands to enjoyment. With enjoyment, the desire to learn and understand grows and expands, and you are carried around and around the wheel honouring our heritage. You feel good Value of heritage SAVE YOUR FOREST, THE KEY TO AN OPTIMAL WORKING SOLUTION CITY OF SASKATOON STRATEGIC GOALS | one A case can be made that interpretive signs at your greenspace, the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area will enhance the 7 Strategic goals which guide the City of Saskatoon into the future. A Culture of Continuous Improvement is promoted by the interpretive messages providing high quality heritage services, encouraging high standards of performance, and building a better city is reinforced and promoted by the interpretive sign investment. Social well-being, greenspace safety, heritage and culture is enriched via interpretation supporting the strategic goal of Quality of Life. Interpretive signs bring attention to the rich taxonomic diversity and help protect the eco-system sustaining and promoting the City of Saskatoon’s strategic goal of Environmental Leadership. Forested areas are “so much more vastly powerful than anyone ever expected,” said Thomas Crowther, a professor of environmental systems science at ETH Zurich and a co-author of the paper. “By far, it’s the top climate change solution in terms of carbon storage potential.” [source] The City of Saskatoon General Manager Environment Page 1 Value of heritage and Utilities Trevor Bell, Director Sustainability Jeanna South, Environmental Accounting Manager Sustainability Nasha Spence and Marketing Consultant Communications and Public Engagement Leighland Hrapchak and their teams came together and looked at Saskatoon’s Adaptation Strategy and local action plan as described in the report “Climate projections and possible impacts.”They say “Saskatoon’s future outcome hinges on the actions we make today, as we attempt to save our planet from the effects of climate change.” Heritage and natural values that are commemorated and valued reinforce and strengthen the noble efforts of the City of Saskatoon which has indeed made an investment into “what matters.” Interpretive signs improve the return on the investment made by the City of Saskatoon in 1960 and the second investment made by the City of Saskatoon in the 1972 tree planting Green Survival Project, thus supporting asset and financial sustainability. As the city of Saskatoon grows, and the Blairmore Sector neighbourhoods and P4G south west employment sectors are added, interpretive signs redoubles the safety of the green space and enhanced the enjoyment of the visitor and tourist to your Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and ensures that the delight and increased utilisation of your Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area. Interpretive signs sustain and improve the health of this naturalized green space resource thereby honouring the Strategic Goal of Sustainable Growth. Interpretive signs communicate the language of the scientist, the voices of the past, and the significance of your Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area greenspace as a legacy moving forward into the future. Your Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area thus commemorated and valued with meanings and connections for the citizens of the Saskatoon builds and strengthens our civic image. Tourism is a wealth, job creator and one of the largest industries which supports and builds the Strategic Goal of Economic Diversity & Prosperity for the city of Saskatoon. The learning moment can be seized to think about what really and profoundly matters, to collectively envision a better future, and then to become practical visionaries in realizing the future.
