Sponsored by Southeast Regional Library & Wheatland Regional Library 

Presented by Morgan Kelly & Mariam Salvador

In 2024, Wheatland Regional Library and Southeast Regional Library joined the Neighborhood Forest program, a non-profit organization that distributes free trees to children across North America for Earth Day. Typically a program hosted in schools, Neighborhood Forest has expanded significantly to libraries, and was brought to x number of communities in Saskatchewan in April 2024 and 2025.

What do tree saplings have to do with increased engagement in public libraries? Be-leaf it or not, more than you might think! This session will cover the process of registering families for trees, coordinating deliveries, and unexpected impacts of the program on our libraries, communities, and the Neighborhood Forest organization.
