Today is #InternationalDayofForests. We all know that forests help fight climate change and support our well-being when we are able to take a walk among the trees and commune with nature.

Did you know?

• Forests are home to about 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity, with more that 60,000 tree species.
• Around 1.6 billion people depend directly on forests for food, shelter, energy, medicines and income.
• The world is losing 10 million hectares of forest each year – about the size of Iceland!

Take some time to walk one of the many trails in Mississauga and appreciate the beauty and necessity of forests around the world.
