Our Work in Canada

We’re reimagining how to work with forests in response to climate change. Under business as usual, Canada’s forestlands contribute more to making global climate change worse than they protect against it—this must change. We work with forest entrepreneurs and forestry communities in the Maritime provinces, and across the special Acadian Forest Region, to reverse destruction and ensure forests thrive now and in the future.

Forest Protection

We need healthy forests now, more than ever. We partner with people and businesses who take responsibility for their climate impact by saving old forests through carbon offsets, avoiding the emissions that would be released if these forests were destroyed. These climate forests then act as deepening carbon sinks with countless co-benefits.

Forest Adaptation

As the climate changes, the growing conditions for trees also change. By translating leading science into practical response strategies and training forestry professionals to manage forests for greater climate resilience, we can grow forests that are better able to adapt and better able to protect biodiversity and store carbon over the long term.

Forest Restoration

Our forest restoration program is based on securing large areas of degraded land and replanting a diversity of native trees to bring back lost forests. By purchasing the lands outright, we can ensure that these forests will never be destroyed again and will flourish for future generations. To date, we have restored over 700 acres of special Acadian forest and dream of greatly expanding our impact in this region with new partners in 2020.
