Governments invest $355 million for planting 125 million trees in B.C.

Surrounded by hundreds of thousands of saplings at Western Forest Products in Central Saanich, the Ministry of Forests announced the provincial and federal governments will be investing more than $355 million towards reforestation programs that will plant more than 125 million trees.
Reforestation is crucial to B.C. forestry, says Western Forest Products CEO Steven Hofer, with their saplings not only replacing harvested trees, but also donated to habitat restoration and wildfire recovery.
