National Forest Week
National Forest Week
September 20-26, 2020
Join us in celebrating the 100th Anniversary of National Forest Week! Throughout the week, we’ll be updating this page to include features of some of the people and places that have made forestry an important part of our national heritage.
This year’s Forest Week theme is “Healthy Forests, Healthy Future” and we will be taking the opportunity to communicate the role of forests in a green economy and our efforts as a company to ensure that healthy, well-managed forests are central to our sustainable future.
On this page we will share a series of blog posts, videos and news stories from Mosaic highlighting a range of sustainability initiatives from our tree planting program, to forestry education, to Indigenous partnerships.
First out in our series of videos is our Senior Manager - Forestry Operations, Jimmie Hodgson talking about Mosaic’s annual tree planting program:
Last week we interviewed René Monjo, manager for Timberline Reforestation and tree planters Francois Lechasseur and Simone Rochon. Check out their interviews here:
