Forests Ontario Rebrands as Forests Canada

To better reflect its national impact and goals, Forests Ontario has rebranded to Forests Canada. 

Becoming Forests Canada will allow the organization to broaden the scope of its operations, while inspiring collaboration and investment to better conserve, restore, and grow forests today and for future generations. The organization will continue working with its local and regional planting partners to significantly reduce the cost of large-scale tree planting, facilitating increased forest cover and ensuring such initiatives are more affordable for landowners and municipalities across the country.

“As Forests Canada, we are working to improve biodiversity and the connectivity of forested landscapes, increase much-needed wildlife habitat, fight the effects of climate change, and foster a connection to our forests – all while supporting local economies across Canada,” said Jess Kaknevicius, CEO of Forests Canada. “We are taking our decades of knowledge and experience creating and supporting diverse, thriving forests in Ontario and applying it on a national scale to achieve the greatest possible outcomes from coast to coast to coast.”

Since 2007, Forests Ontario has facilitated the planting of 46.5 million trees, enhancing 900,000 hectares of connected forest landscapes through over 8,000 restoration projects across 10 provinces. During the past year, Forests Ontario and its existing national division, Forest Recovery Canada, supported the planting of 1.9 million trees in ON, as well as 380,000+ in AB, 200,000+ in NS, 70,000+ in BC, 60,000+ in NB, and 5,000+ in MB. 

Although Forests Canada has a new national name and broadened scope, it remains dedicated to its educational and outreach programs in Ontario. The organization will continue working with its local and regional planting partners to significantly reduce the cost of large-scale tree planting, facilitating increased forest cover and ensuring such initiatives are more affordable for landowners and municipalities across the country.
