The BC Government says more than 280 million trees were planted in the province this year.
“2024 was a banner year for our province, celebrating 10 billion trees planted since 1930,” said Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar.
“Our government’s commitment to sustainable forests has seen us lead the country by planting more than two billion trees since 2017.”
This year, the province’s reforestation efforts were primarily focused on fire-damaged areas.
This was in addition to work undertaken by forest tenure holders as part of their legal requirements to regenerate harvested areas.
