![]() ROOTED conference Resilience, Outreach and One-Health, Trees, Ecology & Diversity At a time when climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and public health challenges are increasingly interconnected, a growing international network is bringing together diverse voices to explore collaborative solutions. That network is ROOTED—Resilience, Outreach and One-Health, Trees, Ecology & Diversity. Taking place on World Environmental Health Day on Saturday, 26 September 2026 9:00 AM -4:00 PM EST (Toronto) 7:00 AM CST (Central Standard Time, such as in Saskatchewan). ROOTED was established with a simple yet ambitious vision: to make the world a better place than how we found it. Through collective advocacy, collaboration, education, and action, ROOTED seeks to strengthen the connections between people, animals, ecosystems, and communities while fostering solutions that promote environmental sustainability and social well-being. More than a conference or a single initiative, ROOTED is evolving into a platform for dialogue, partnership, and innovation among organizations, researchers, community leaders, environmental advocates, health professionals, educators, and policymakers from around the world. |

"The simple act of planting a tree, which is in itself a practical deed, is also the symbol of a far reaching ideal, which is creative in the realm of the Spirit, and in turn reacts upon society, encouraging all to work for the future well being of humanity rather than for immdiate gain."
