Little Forests SSM
We're in the early stages of bringing the concept of a 'Little Forest' to Sault Ste. Marie's urban area. Stay tuned for more details as we grow this project and read below for some background information and links to similar projects across Canada. Please reach out if you would be interested in volunteering with this project as we will need all hands on deck come time for shovels in the ground!
Project Updates
March 2024: We submitted our first application for funding for this project and we've secured partners for potential planting locations. More to follow soon!
May 2024: Our grant application was successful and we began full steam ahead with the initiation of our first Little Forest project. The site of the first Little Forest will be at East View Public school.
June 2024: We spread the layers of what will become the forest floor across the site. This includes composted manure, hay and mulch. We had help from a number of volunteers as well as students and staff at East View!
