Gift Trees Planting Project – Quebec

Project Description

This Gift Tree Planting Project is in the Boreal Forest, Quebec, Canada. The majority of forest coverage in Québec comes from the Boreal forest – the world’s largest intact forest ecosystem – making Québec forests some of the most ecologically rich ecosystems on the planet. They are home to more than 225 species of bird, 50 species of tree, and 60 mammal species including moose, black bear, fox, and caribou. Since 2000, Quebec has lost almost 10% of its tree cover.

Your tree will help improve tree coverage in Quebec as urban sprawl, the timber industry, and resource development projects continue to threaten further deforestation across the province. The species of trees to be planted in your project are all conifers; black spruce, jack pine, balsam fir, white spruce, and larch. The project includes educating communities on forest management to ensure they will remain healthy for wildlife and last for generations to come.
