Severe weather has reshaped many of our forested landscapes — and together, we’re helping them recover. In recent years, provincial parks have been impacted by extreme weather, invasive species, and shoreline erosion. To restore these natural spaces and support species conservation, we are working with @OntarioParks to plant 12,000 native trees and shrubs across nine provincial parks. Last fall and this spring, 4,500 potted trees and shrubs representing 39 native species were planted in targeted areas throughout those nine parks. An additional 7,500 seedlings were recently planted at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park to help it rebuild after extensive storm damage forced the park's temporary closure in June 2025. A heartfelt thank‑you to park staff, our nursery and planting partners, and the volunteers who helped us plant these future forests. Learn about these projects and more: forestscanada.ca/en/article/…
