Happy International Day of Forests! Looking for ways to learn about forests, or raise awareness about all the amazing things they do for the planet? Allow me to suggest some resources:
Bimaadiziwin Mitigoog – Trees of Life
This set of FREE guides presents science and Indigenous Traditional Knowledge side-by-side, an approach that Mi’kmaq Elder Dr. Albert Marshall calls Two-Eyed Seeing.
Trees important to First Nations and Métis peoples across what’s now Canada are included in the series. Get them here.
The Great Big Boreal Forest Resource List
When my award-winning book The Boreal Forest first came out, I compiled a list of FREE resources, including the official teacher’s guide.
Read The Boreal Forest
And if you still haven’t read the book itself, you can find it at indie bookstores and online retailers across North America. Your local library should have a copy, too!
