2 Billion Tree's Program
Details
The West Interlake Watershed District is taking part in the federal 2 Billion Trees program. The program is in its infancy, so please contact the WIWD regarding specific program stipulations and limitations.
Over a period of 10 years, by 2031, up to $3.2 billion will be invested in tree planting efforts to support provinces, territories, third-party organizations (for-profit and not-for profit) and Indigenous organizations to plant two billion trees across Canada. The ultimate goal, to plant 2 billion trees over 10 years, is one part of our commitment to nature-based climate solutions
The program is a cost-share with the applicant, and has a 180+ seedling planting minimum in effect. Keep in mind there are also species limitations, and a focus on planting trees, not shrubs. All applications must be approved before project work can begin.
