June celebrates National Indigenous History Month to honour the history, heritage and diversity of Indigenous Peoples. Root for Trees encourages Edmontonians to join us in celebrating Indigenous culture and ‘connecting with our roots’ by learning about how Indigenous knowledge connects with nature, including the native species we plant on Treaty Six Territory. Root for Trees will hold a tree planting event, along with partnering with the Indigenous Relations Office to offer various Indigenous-led activities in our celebration.
Root for Trees holds special events throughout our planting season that celebrate both Edmonton's urban forest and our communities.
