British Columbia

One Dollar. One Tree.

British Columbia is known for its abundant forests, rugged Pacific coastlinemountains, plateaus, and pristine lakes and rivers. In recent years, visitors have noticed a difference in B.C.'s trees. Learn more

With your help, we will:

  • Recover areas affected by large-scale wildfires
  • Improve forest health by planting young, well-placed trees
  • Restore habitat for British Columbia's iconic wildlife species
  • Notably, BC is home to incredible and iconic biodiversity like the Canada Lynx, Snowy Owl, Moose, and more. Forests cover two-thirds of the province – an area of almost 60 million hectares. Sadly, insect pests and diseases have decimated enormous areas of forest. These dead trees become fuel for wildfires, and in summer 2017 B.C. experienced its worst wildfire in history, with over 1.2 million hectares burned. You can help recover this essential wildlife habitat when you plant a tree 🌱
  • British Columbia has established itself as a leader in forest management, implementing stringent forest policies, stewardship programs and scientific research. Our reforestation partners are experts in rehabilitating B.C. forests and ensuring they have a sustainable future. Help us plant trees in British Columbia to help reduce the damage from beetle infestations, lessen the impact of wildfires, provide habitat for B.C.'s abundant wildlife like the moose and grizzly bear, and preserve the province's natural beauty for generations to come.
  • A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We'll also send you reports on our projects in British Columbia, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.
  • B.C.'s rich forest diversity includes more than 40 different species of native trees, with some of Canada's most interesting and valuable tree species. Coniferous, or softwood, species such as pine, spruce, fir, hemlock and western red cedar are predominant in close to 90 per cent of B.C.’s forests. To maximize the impact of your donation, our partner will determine the most appropriate species of tree to plant, depending on the time of year.

About British Columbia

British Columbia is Canada’s most ecologically diverse province. It has the country’s only temperate desert, near Osoyoos in the far south, and North America’s wettest weather station, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. It has temperate rainforests, dry pine forests, boreal forests, alpine tundra, grasslands and more. More than 1,100 species of birds, fish, mammals, amphibians and reptiles live in B.C., some found nowhere else in Canada.

In summer 2017, British Columbia experienced the worst wildfire season in its history. It was unprecedented in the amount of land burned (over 1.2 million hectares), the total cost of fire suppression (over $568 million), and the number of people displaced (roughly 65,000 evacuated).

The fire season prompted a Provincial State of Emergency that was declared on July 7 and not rescinded until September 15, lasting 70 days. This was the longest Provincial State of Emergency in B.C's history. Recovering from such significant wildfire damage will take careful forest management. Your support can help get B.C's trees back to health again! 

Why Plant in British Columbia?

Reduce the Impact of Wildfires

Reduce the Impact of Wildfires

Help us prevent wildfires from spreading catastrophically. Young, healthy forests can help suppress future wildfires and reduce the impact of smoke on public health.  

Improve Forest Health

Improve Forest Health

Biological threats like bark beetle, defoliating insects, and the Gypsy Moth can stunt tree growth and increase tree mortality rates. Planting young, well-spaced trees helps create more resilient forests

Protect Wildlife Habitat

Protect Wildlife Habitat

Healthy forests provide habitat for an abundance of wildlife. British Columbia currently has more than 1,186 approved wildlife habitat areas, covering more than 1 million hectares.
