2 Billion Tree program

NBAPC will plant 10,537 trees and shrubs in 2024 along the Wolastoq and the Nashwaak River Watersheds. In year one, NBAPC will hire a staff member and begin preparation for planting in year two. In year two, they will plant a total of 10,537 trees and shrubs across five sites. Tree planting will be completed in Fall 2024, and NBAPC will complete monitoring and maintenance of planted sites for the duration of this agreement. This project will restore floodplain and riparian habitat in the watershed by planting the right trees in the right places. This will contribute to the recovery of multiple species at risk, further the implementation of the Wolastoq/St. John River Priority Threat Management assessment, enhance climate resiliency, reduce impacts of flooding, and build long-term planting capacity in the region.
