Contributions for Growing Canada's Forests to 2 Billion Trees
Natural Resources Canada
Program purpose (as reported by the department)
The 2 Billion Trees program operationalizes the federal commitment to plant two billion incremental trees by supporting activities along the tree planting supply chain and involving a range of stakeholders through cost-shared partnerships, in order to contribute to Canada's GHG emission reduction target in 2030 and net zero emissions target in 2050. Anticipated co-benefits include restoring habitat for species at risk and other species of interest, increasing forest resilience to climate change, and job creation.

Method & sources
Source: Government of Canada "Proactive Disclosure – Grants and Contributions" (Open Government Licence – Canada). We include agreements with for-profit recipients that started on or after April 1, 2021, and keep the latest amendment of each agreement, so values are the current agreement value, not money paid out. Departments report on their own schedule, so the most recent quarter is incomplete. Recipients are linked to company pages by exact name match. This is not an endorsement or an eligibility determination — check each program's official page.
