Register today for the upcoming CE Webinar on Establishing Mini Forests in Degraded Urban Soils.

In this webinar, Rhoda deJonge, Director at Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, will examine key barriers, including the high cost of soil remediation, the need to budget for dense plantings despite potential tree mortality, constraints in site selection, and the limited research comparing the benefits of mini forests with those of conventional plantings. We also discuss practical strategies for addressing these challenges.

On the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we recognize the deep connection Indigenous Peoples have maintained with the land for generations.

As communities across Ontario continue to face the impacts of wildfires, we are reminded that Indigenous fire stewardship has long helped care for landscapes, reduce wildfire risk, and support healthy ecosystems.

As landscape architects, we have a responsibility to listen, learn, and work alongside Indigenous communities to support resilient and culturally meaningful landscapes.

Today, we honour Indigenous knowledge, leadership, and stewardship.
