Restoring and Growing our Forests

Living in a country with the third largest forested area on the planet, Canadians are fortunate to be surrounded by nature and its riches. However, over the last 40 years, approximately 3.3 million hectares of Canada’s forests have been converted for other uses while climate change is making forest fires more prevalent. In response, Tree Canada’s National Greening Program targets areas in need of reforestation or afforestation with mass seedling plantings. In 2022, we planted over 1 million trees in five regions: British Columbia & Territories/North, the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic. Our diverse network of partners and donors makes this possible, helping us to plant the right trees in the right places.
