Gift Tree Planting Project – New Brunswick

Project Description

This Gift Tree Planting Project is in the Fundy Biosphere Reserve area of New Brunswick, Canada. New Brunswick is home to some of the most ecologically diverse forest types in Canada. as well as one of the most endangered. With a moist climate and a historically very low risk of fire, these forests are ideal for storing carbon and a prime region for focusing climate change resilience efforts.

The primary goal in planting trees in New Brunswick is to increase species diversity and  promote climate change resilience. Forests––like the Acadian Forests––will return to a healthy ecosystem, promoting biodiversity and helping mitigate the effects of climate change. Many of these forests are also frequented by local communities and schools, providing important learning and educational opportunities.

Reforesting these Arcadian Forest areas will promote wildlife connectivity, water retention, and carbon storage. By planting a diversity of native species – Red Spruce, White Pine, and Red Oak – we can help the site regenerate quicker and healthier than would be possible if left alone.
