A 2-Billion Tree Program report showed that its Provinces and Territories Funding Stream had reached only 40% of its target after four years and signed agreements with 11 of the 13 provincial and territorial governments. …Nevertheless, if … enthusiasm for the 2BT was low, BC was the exception. It accounted for 67.5 million of the 110 million trees planted by 2024, according to BC Ministry of Forest’s Forest Investment Program figures (FIP). Fortunately, FIP signed a four-year $99-million contribution agreement with 2BT that will be honoured according to Budget 2025. BC will continue to plant 40 to 50 million seedlings annually under FIP-2BT until 2029. Unfortunately, reduced harvest in BC has seen the total trees planted per year drop from ~300 million in 2020 to ~230 million in 2026. To make up for those 70 million fewer seedlings, the WFCA proposed to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, before Budget 2025 was released, that the federal government double the current 2BT contribution agreement. The minister has yet to reply.
