Eligibility:
The applicant must propose tree planting projects:
1. on public and private lands across the country;
2. in remote, rural, suburban and urban areas;
3. via afforestation – the creation of new forest cover on lands that currently do not have trees (e.g. abandoned lands);
4. via reforestation – the regeneration of forests that have temporarily lost their tree cover through natural disturbances (e.g. wildland fire) or in areas where commercial disturbances (e.g. forestry roads and landings, mining or seismic lines) have occurred but for which there is no current legal requirement to plant trees;
5. to restore forest habitat, including under recovery strategies for species at risk, conservation agreements and related planning processes (e.g. range plans).
Tree planting projects must comply with provincial, territorial and federal laws that have authority over the management of most forested land in their jurisdictions.
