First-year students in Waterloo’s Sustainability and Financial Management (SFM) program—an innovative initiative offered by the School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) in partnership with the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development (SEED)—came together to plant 100 native trees and shrubs on Waterloo’s north campus last week.
The annual micro-forest planting, hosted in partnership with Sustainable Waterloo Region (SWR), connects students directly with the land and the responsibility to steward it. SWR defines a micro-forest as “a small area of land that is returned to a natural state through the planting of native trees and shrubs.” For SFM students, it represents both a practical sustainability initiative and a reminder of how financial decision-making must align with environmental and social responsibility.
