One Tree Planted’s Goal: Planting 150,000 trees in the Chignecto Isthmus
The Chignecto Isthmus connects mainland New Brunswick to Nova Scotia, which is hugely important for the native habitat, and has been identified as a priority conservation area. Unfortunately, forests in this area have become fragmented. By planting native Acadian trees, we will be able to promote wildlife connectivity, water retention and carbon storage, among other benefits for years to come.

One Tree Planted’s Goal: Planting 218,358 trees in San Bernardino National Forest
The Cranston Fire in 2018 burned over 13,000 acres within the National Forest. Due to forest cover loss, the burnt areas have a high risk of flash floods and erosion, creating hazardous conditions within the landscape. By planting trees in the affected areas, we are working to re-establish forest cover, increase biodiversity, improve watershed health and prevent catastrophic erosion events.

Trees play an important role in the water cycle, grounding the water in their roots and releasing it into the atmosphere. Here are some interesting facts about trees and the impact of deforestation around the world.

• Up to 48lbs. of CO2 is sequestered by a mature tree every year.
• 1.6 billion people rely on forests for their livelihoods.
• 80,000 acres of forests disappear from the Earth every day!
• 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions are the result of deforestation.
• 28,000 species are expected to become extinct by the next 25 years due to deforestation.
• Deforestation comes in many forms, including fires, clear-cutting for agriculture, ranching and development, unsustainable logging for timer, and degradation due to climate change
