Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised in the 2019 campaign as part of his climate platform to plant two billion trees by 2030, which amounts to an extra 200 million trees per year.
Planting didn't happen in 2020 and this year, the government put a call out for projects that could start this spring, after Natural Resources Minister Seamus O'Regan announced it would spend $3 billion on the program. "The first trees will be in the ground this spring," Ian Cameron wrote in a statement, saying more than 120 applications were received and agreements could be signed by May.
The Western Forestry Contractors' Association, an advocacy group which represents seedling nurseries, consulting foresters and tree planting contractors in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario, said some of its members were able to pull together sites, funds and seedlings to plant around 2.3 million trees in B.C.
"The government made a political promise during the campaign that it had no idea how it would institute and basically handed this over to the bureaucracy," he said.The Forest Products Association of Canada said it offered advice to the Liberal government in developing the program that it should look to those in forestry, conservation as well as Indigenous groups who have experience with planting.
