Our Impact
Building resilience in Canada's forests and communities.
As a national Canadian charity, Forests Canada is dedicated to conserving, restoring, and growing Canada’s forests, strengthening resilience and recovery through science-based solutions, strategic partnerships, and long-term investment. From collecting and nurturing millions of seeds each year to the annual planting of quality seedlings and investing in their sustained growth and survival, Forests Canada’s established systems approach to ecosystem restoration delivers measurable and meaningful outcomes for Canada’s forests.
Beyond our ecological impacts, Forests Canada continues to support and advance skills training and knowledge exchange through applied practitioner workshops and events, while also strengthening Canada’s tree seed capacity.
For decades, Forests Canada has also connected youth to nature by transforming curiosity into knowledge and inspiring the next generation to care for the forests Canadians rely on. Through hands-on learning, meaningful experiences, and interactive educational resources and tools, we are growing more than forests. Together, we’re inspiring the future leaders, advocates, and stewards of Canada’s vital landscapes.
