Birth Forest
Overview
Every year, the Streetscapes Committee, along with the City of Chestermere, plants trees in September to recognize those children born to families living within Chestermere.
Thank you to the many families who participated in the 2021 Birth Forest planting. There is no better way to help save the environment than by planting a tree. You can do your part by honouring your child with a tree in our 2022 Birth Forest.
Location
The 2020 and 2021 Birth Forests are located along the canal pathway off of Rainbow Road.
The 2022 Birth Forest will be in the same area along the canal pathway (West end, near Rainbow Road).
Parking for the Birth Forest is available along Rainbow Falls Gate.
