March 21 is International Day of Forests, and the theme this year is “Forests and Health.”

Forests do so much for us. They clean the air, purify our water, provide food and medicine,
preserve biodiversity, capture carbon (thereby helping fight climate change), and improve our
emotional well-being and mental health. Our future is linked to their future. Help us improve
the health of whitebark and limber pine forests.

Look here for the status of Canadian forests.
