Over the course of the past four years, over 1.1 billion trees have been planted in British Columbia, including 301 million in 2021.
The tree planting efforts are part of a science-based reforestation program launched in 2018.
“This milestone would not have been possible without the hard work of thousands of silviculture workers who prepare and plant millions of diverse saplings, ensuring our forests are resilient for generations to come,” said Katrine Conroy, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development.
Work has already begun to prepare for reforestation efforts next year. Nurseries across B.C. have employed over 1,300 workers who are preparing millions of seedlings for cold storage. Those trees will be shipped to planting sites across the province in the spring, where roughly 5,000 silviculture workers will plant the saplings.
