Come Outside: Winter Is Alive in Saskatoon's Afforestation Areas
Winter isn't something to get through-it's something to step into. In these forests, we celebrate Saskatoon's shift from enduring winter to embracing it, reclaiming the joy of bright snowy days, crunching trails, and hoar-frosted forests. Adventure Lab self-guided tour: From Old Bone Trail to Treetops invites you into the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area, a living laboratory of ecological succession within Saskatoon's green belt, where more than 52 tree species and over 65 species at risk thrive thanks to decades of foresight and care. As you follow this self-guided journey, you'll explore forest history, conservation, and community stewardship while noticing winter's quiet rhythm'woodpeckers drumming, chickadees calling, breath turning silver in the cold air.
