Reforestation is one of the best ways to restore lands that have been degraded by forest fires. Plant trees to support post-fire recovery in Canada and the United States. Learn more
With your help, we will:
- Reforest lands damaged by record-setting fires
- Support habitat for iconic biodiversity
- Create a positive impact for generations to come
Overview
Year after year, forest fires grow in intensity as climate change continues to provide the perfect conditions for these fires to flourish. The good news is, reforestation can help restore what was lost. Planting trees in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, and California is an effective method to revitalize the land and eventually return the area to a thriving forest. Soil stability is an immediate ecological benefit of reforestation and the area provides enough light for a new forest to grow efficiently.
Impact
As the forest regenerates, it will provide a critically important regional habitat (nesting, denning, foraging, and hunting) sensitive migratory songbirds, sensitive raptors and owls, sensitive amphibians, black bears, and ungulates. The trees are carefully planted to prevent invasive species from colonizing burn scars.
Tree Species
We always plant a mix of diverse, native species from local nurseries. This project is working to replenish local forests, so the native species grown in the nurseries include black spruce, white spruce, tamarack, jack pine, red osier dogwood, balsam poplar, and mixed native willow species.
