Blue Green Planet Project is a collaborative carbon solutions company that engages Canadian tree planters to plant trees in Canadian soil, mobilizing resources to encourage ecosystem restoration and carbon sequestration. Their focus is non-obligation trees –  those that would not have been planted otherwise.

To date, they have planted 277,648 trees in collaboration with First Nations, forestry experts, communities, businesses,  and individuals.

Their 2022 plans include projects in BC, Alberta and Manitoba — three-quarters of which involve indigenous communities. Their long-term goal is to plant 100 million trees by 2030.

Tim Tchida discusses the project’s goals and accomplishments, including their third annual Tree Planting Film Festival, which provides an inside look into what it takes to be a tree planter, sharing stories of passion, purpose and perseverance.

Entitled We Are the Landscapeit featured 26 short films and documentaries, each under 10 minutes in length.

Road to Recovery is done in partnership with Douglas Magazine
