Today, the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced that Canada's 2 Billion Trees program has agreements to plant nearly one billion trees since the program's launch in 2021.
As of June 2025, Canada has signed or is negotiating tree-planting agreements with 11 provinces and territories, 58 Indigenous partners, 30 municipalities and 88 non-governmental organizations.
To date, over 228 million trees have been planted, representing important progress to protect crucial wildlife habitat, restore wildfire-impacted areas and sequester carbon.
The Government of Canada remains committed to restoring and conserving nature and biodiversity, including by creating at least 10 new national parks and marine conservation areas and 15 new urban parks and working toward our ambitious goal of protecting 30 percent of our land and waters by 2030.
