SUMMARY:SIA Saskatoon Branch Event partner with the Meewasin Valley Authority
DESCRIPTION:The SIA Saskatoon Branch is pleased to partner with the Meewasin Valley Authority again this year\, events qualify as branch activities for Articling Milestones. \n Activity Date: Wednesday May 27\, 2026 \nArbor Day Tree Wrapping @ Diefenbaker Park (4:30 – 6:30 PM) \nMeeting @ Diefenbaker Park  \nMeeting Point \nMeet Katie\, our Volunteer Coordinator\, at Diefenbaker Park Parking Lot. Here’s a map of our meeting point. \nAbout this event \nWe’re continuing our work wrapping special trees along the trail to protect them from those busy beavers! Wrapping the trunks of trees with fencing not only protects the trees from chewing\, but also modifies the habitat by decreasing the beaver food supply. This is an easy way to protect selected trees without destroying Saskatoon’s wetland ecosystem. \nTo ensure you have a great experience\, there are a few things we’d like you to know: \nYou must be registered to attend this event register here Put SIA in the note section to ensure your registration can be verified for the articling milestone. \n\nWe will begin at 4:30 PM. and end at 6:30 PM. If you’ll be late\, no worries! Just let us know! Even if you wrapped 1 tree\, it will make a difference!\nUpon arrival check in with Meewasin’s Volunteer Coordinator\, Katie.\nThis is an outdoor experience – Please dress for the weather and come prepared to be hiking outdoors. Beaver wire is prone to catching on clothes so wear clothing that won’t catch on the little prongs. Things like a hat\, sweater\, windbreaker\, sunscreen\, and proper footwear will also make your experience more enjoyable. Long pants and covered ankles are a good idea in the long grass.\nBring a full reusable water bottle to carry with you\, there is no potable water at this event and hydration is key. Please note there are NO washroom facilities available on-site.\n\nVolunteer Requirements \nAll volunteers\, ages 8 and up\, both new and experienced\, are encouraged to attend\, no skills set required. We will be using  a wire mesh to wrap the trees\, and metal stakes to hold them in place – Meewasin will provide the work gloves\, protective eye-wear and other equipment but feel free to bring your own tools like pliers\, and mallets. \nREGISTER HERE
