关于我们
What is the Forest Capital of Canada? Established in 1979, the Forest Capital of Canada program focuses on the valuable role forests play in the socio-economic and environmental health of our communities – past, present and future. Each year the Canadian Institute of Forestry designates a community or region to host a celebration of its forest resources. Mackenzie Region has been chosen as the Forest Capital of Canada for 2024! This is the first time it's been awarded in Western Canada since 2013. #ForestCapitalOfCanada #FCC2024

"A cord is 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet and represents about 20 trees. So every year, families needed to chop about 100 trees worth of wood just for heating and cooking." ?? After how cold February was, we sure are grateful for modern advancements and a furnace! ??

Coniferous trees are very well adapted to the climatic conditions. Their slender, conical shape minimizes snow accumulation on the branches, allowing the trees to generally withstand the weight of the snow for the entire winter without breaking. ???? ?? Keeping the needles throughout the winter allows the tree to photosynthesize on the occasional sunny, warm winter day, and to begin photosynthesizing in spring as soon as temperatures permit. ??Source: https://lnkd.in/gCVxJq8H #ForestCapitalOfCanada #FCC2025

Weasels don’t hibernate and are active all year long. ?? ?? They eat rodents, rabbits, birds, eggs, insects and, given the chance, the occasional chicken. They hunt both day and night and are excellent climbers, swimmers and runners. They eat around 40% of their body weight each day and often kill more than they can eat, storing the rest for later. ??
