OTTAWA — Canada’s Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development Jerry DeMarco tabled a report in the House of Commons last week outlining the challenges of meeting the ambitious objectives for the 2 Billion Trees Program. The report rightly points out that there can be no solution to fighting climate change and terrestrial biodiversity loss that does not involve forests. Canada’s Forest Trust Corporation is proud to be taking on this challenge and to be an innovative and growing part of Canada’s solution. CFT plans to plant 26 million trees between 2023 and 2025 through our comprehensive forestry approach that partners with Indigenous Peoples and communities, youth as the next generation of change-makers, and businesses across Canada. To accomplish this, we are scaling the number of seedlings planted yearly and securing long-term seedling and planting partnerships with some of the leading suppliers in North America.
