Acquire land across Canada
PREPARE
Assess, plan, and complete site preparation for planting
PLANT
Strategically plant seedlings to ensure optimal growth and carbon sequestration
PRESERVE
Perform innovative forest management activities to maintain the forest and maximize its impact
PROTECT
Audit, and set a no clear-cut guarantee on every forest

Start making a difference now—and far into the future
Each Smart Forest has a ‘planting prescription'. This is the unique mix of species that's right for the local climate, soil conditions, drainage, and land history. This optimal habitat maximizes the positive impacts the forest will make, including carbon sequestration, oxygen production and water absorption.
