Thousands of seedlings planted as Narrow Hills recovery continues Thousands of tree seedlings have been planted in Narrow Hills Provincial Park as recovery efforts continue following the devastating wildfires that forced the park’s closure last year. According to the Saskatchewan government, crews planted more than 81,180 tree seedlings in June and completed a large transplant project that moved nearly 1,000 mature trees from highway right-of-ways into campgrounds damaged by the fires. Officials said the larger trees will help restore shade and improve the visitor experience while newly planted seedlings continue to grow.

“Nature is incredibly resilient, and it is encouraging to know that new growth is already happening at Narrow Hills Provincial Park,” said Brad Crassweller, Legislative Secretary to the Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport. “By supporting this natural recovery with large-scale planting, we are helping the park recover faster so visitors can continue to enjoy it for years to come.”
