In an effort to reduce the environmental impact of the G7 Summit in Quebec, the federal government is investing in activities like the planting of 100,000 trees on Canada’s biosphere reserves. Saskatchewan has one of the country’s 18 biosphere reserves, at Redberry Lake, and it will be home to some of these trees. The trees are being planted this month at Aspen Innovation Park, which is about 7 kilometres west of Hafford on Highway 40. Today (Tues) is National TREE Project Planting Day in honour of this symbolic offset of part of the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the G7 Summit.
