Carbon Off-Set
Carbon Offset Donation - to offset your carbon to travel to the Conference, please consider adding $10 to your registration fee which will be donated to the Project Forest Siksika Nation Community Shelterbelt Program.
The money from your carbon offset donation will be donated to Project Forest for one of their initiatives (See below) of tree planting/re-wilding of abandoned/neglected Alberta landscapes. To ensure that the AB CLRA Conference has hosted a Carbon Neutral event, the AB CLRA Board will be topping the donation amount to Project Forest for each registered delegate (if required) up to $6500.
The AB CLRA Board will be partnering with Project Forest for their Siksika Nation Community Shelterbelt Program (a multi-year partnership between Project Forest and Siksika Nation). For more than 100 years, the federal government gave trees to farmers across the prairies to plant shelterbelts, protecting them from the harsh elements and improving the growing conditions for their crops. Siksika Nation, and many other First Nations, were not offered access to these trees and the many benefits they provide.
Project Forest is planting shelterbelts around the homes, communities and agricultural fields of Siksika Nation, the second largest reserve in Canada. Shelterbelts, up to five rows wide with food-bearing and medicinal plants interspersed, will benefit the members of Siksika Nation by creating privacy from the road, mitigating extreme weather, and offering spaces for traditional land use activities like berry-picking. Phase One of the project will begin in 2023. Project Forest will plant more than 130,000 trees and shrubs, creating almost 50 kilometers of new shelterbelts in Siksika Nation.
