Communities are planting trees across the country to help fight climate change, and it all starts with the promise of a tiny seed. 🌰   While tree planting is a complex process, the first step is to source and collect seeds from the right species and climate conditions to have them grow into healthy trees. 🌱  Seeds are then nurtured to become seedlings in nurseries for a few years before they are ready for planting. 🌲 Learn more: https://ow.ly/htNi50UAppw #2BillionTrees

Aba washtinah' " it is good to see the day" In Stoney Nakota. I am honoured to help my friend Reg Potts with the Indigenous Trailblazers Summit April 29th & 30th , 2025 here at Edmonton Convention Centre. These two days will be a great opportunity for Indigenous and Canadian folks to come together to learn and network. I always say that knowledge is a reciprocal process and a gift. Capacity building for me is a knowledge transfer from culture to culture and what you do with that gift is your responsibility moving forward. Come check it out, and dress up rub elbows. It's going to be a Stellar 2 days.

Seeing this project come together was definitely a 2024 highlight for me. With Project Forest we were able to plant about 50ha of previously cleared land, creating a future conifer forest that includes culturally important species like saskatoons, strawberries, raspberries, willows, ash, and choke cherry. A project for future generations to enjoy 🍓🌲🌳🦌 Doig River First Nation

Project Forest partners—look at what you made happen this year! 🌲 ✨ Thank you to all our partners and supporters for making 2024 a tree-mendous year! We're looking forward to coming together again in 2025 to continue our mission of rewilding Canada, one forest at a time. Happy Holidays from the Project Forest team! 🎄

Stefan’s Extraordinary Journey to Plant More Trees 🌊🌲 When Stefan Schreiber reached out to us and said, "I want to swim the English Channel to raise money for the Siksika Nation Community Shelterbelt Program," we were stunned. The English Channel—one of the world's most challenging swims—for trees? 😳 But that's exactly what Stefan is doing. Through freezing waters and intense training, he's driven by his goal to fundraise in support of the Siksika Nation Community Shelterbelt Program. As Stefan shares, "Even when the swim got tough, there was one thing that kept me going: the overwhelming support for my fundraiser […] the generosity of friends, family, and strangers has been nothing short of inspiring." While most of our rewilding projects are funded by large organizations, it's passionate individuals like Stefan who remind us that we each have the power to transform our world—one tree at a time. Do you want to be part of this incredible journey? Follow Stefan's challenge and support the Siksika Nation Community Shelterbelt Program, link in the comments 👇 Go Stefan!! 🙌 #ProjectForest #SiksikaNation #Community Siksika Nation Tribal Administration

Josh Alexis, Project Forest’s Indigenous and Rewilding Specialist, was invited to speak at Dr. Charles Nock's Forestry Ecosystems class at the University of Alberta last week for their final lecture of the semester! Josh's presentation on "Connections & Earth Teachings" offered students valuable insights into First Nations perspectives and their relationship to the land. A highlight was Josh sharing a traditional song on his drum, bringing these important teachings to life in a powerful and moving way. Special thanks to Dr. Nock for inviting Project Forest to participate in this learning opportunity. We're grateful to contribute to the education of our future forestry professionals both in the field and in the classroom. To all the students preparing for exams - wishing you the very best with your exams and continued studies! 🍀 #ForestryEducation #IndigenousKnowledge #ProjectForest
