🤔 What do you think is the most challenging part of surveying a recently planted forest? It’s finding the trees! 🌲👀🌲 One- to two-year-old seedlings can be hard to spot among tall grasses and other vegetation. Especially conifers like pine and spruce, they grow more slowly and can easily be missed by an untrained eye—imagine trying to spot them and assess their health from a drone, or from satellites in outer space! 🛰️ We need the data from our Annual Monitoring Surveys to be reliable because we report on it in our Annual Project Reports (which should be ready for you by July 31st!) These reports are a compilation of the data from our on the ground surveys conducted by forestry professionals once a year at each of our planting sites. Check out this #behindthescenes video filmed at Project Forest Golden Ranches to see how we survey our forests. #OneForestataTime #Rewilding

We're thrilled to announce our newest Diamond Willow partner, Shell Canada! This spring, Shell supported the planting of 90,000 trees on Doig River First Nation in northeastern BC, a significant contribution to the greater 46-hectare rewilding project. And in the fall, 21,060 trees will be planted on Swan River First Nation in northern Alberta, in a project exclusively funded by Shell. Welcome to the Project Forest community, Shell! We’re exciting to grow our partnership and many more forests together. Susannah L. Pierce #IndigenousPartnership #Forests #ESG #OneForestAtATime

🌲 Our #ResearchForest is in the ground... Project Forest and the University of Alberta’s Ecosystem-based Forest Management Lab, Silviculture Research Group, and Forest Entomology & Chemical Ecology Lab are planting an experimental forest to study the impacts of #climatechange on our forests. Thanks to our partners’ support, we’re driving novel research, innovation, and providing hands-on training for students, all to enhance the resilience of Canada’s forests. 🌳 In June, we planted 58,560 trees, with an additional 11,244 trees to follow next year. This long-term research forest near Peace River, Alberta, will join a global network of forest experiments, providing crucial data that will shape the future of how we manage our forests. 🔍 “Picture the land like a checkerboard,” says U of A researcher and professor, Dr. Charles Nock. “In some checkerboard squares, a single tree species will be planted, while in other squares, a mix of tree species will be planted.” More than 20 combinations of trembling aspen, larch, paper birch, white spruce, and lodgepole pine will be planted to understand how diverse forests grow, how local and non-local seeds perform, and which combinations of species are more resilient to stresses like drought. 👉 This project is currently open for funding!

We're taking some time to stop and smell the wild roses. 🌸 The Project Forest offices will be closed for Summer Holidays from July 2nd to July 5th, 2024. We'll be back in the office on Monday, July 8th. Wishing you all some rejuvenating time spent in nature over this long weekend, and throughout the rest of the summer.

We're delighted to welcome Precision Drilling to the Project Forest family of partners! 🌲 Precision Drilling delivers safe and sustainable services and technology to the oil and gas industry. Through their commitment to ESG, Precision aims to create lasting value and contribute to a more sustainable future, ensuring secure, reliable, and affordable energy for their customers. Precision is partnering with Project Forest to plant 2,000 trees and shrubs at the Project Forest Doig River First Nation Rewilding Project. These trees and culturally significant plants and shrubs will help to transition 46 hectares of unproductive land into a species-rich, forever forest. The carbon sequestered from the forest will be used by the community to offset their carbon footprint. Welcome to the Project Forest community, Precision Drilling! We look forward to working together to rewild Canada, one forest at a time. 🌲 #indigenouspartnership #forests #esg #oneforestatatime

Our #SeedlingGiveaway event on Siksika Nation was a huge success with 34 amazing volunteers! We handed out over 1,100 Seedling Bags, each containing 5 trees - that's more than 5,500 seedlings now growing around the homes of Nation residents! 🌲🌳 The following day, Chief Old Sun School picked up four remaining seedling boxes with 360 Saskatoons and 260 Showy Mountain Ash, which students planted at the school. 🌿 A big thank you to our funding partners and volunteers for supporting the Project Forest Siksika Nation Community Shelterbelt Program! 💚 Learn more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/g5F7845U #Community #Volunteers #SiksikaNation #OneForestataTime Siksika Communications, Pembina Pipeline Corporation, Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA/ACRSD) National, Nutrien, ATB Financial, Enverus, Alberta Ecotrust Foundation
