250 Reasons Why B.C.'s Forests Are Better Today

The following pages outline the comprehensive list of FESBC approved projects. While projects are listed under their main purposes, including wildfire risk reduction, fibre recovery, forest carbon, wildlife habitat enhancement, and stand rehabilitation, many of the projects have multiple benefits. For example, many non-carbon projects have a secondary carbon benefit and have been funded, in part, for that carbon benefit.

10 Fibre Recovery Projects 74 Forest Carbon Projects 15 Wildlife Habitat Enhancement Projects 30 Stand Rehabilitation Projects 121 Wildfire Risk Reduction Projects

FESBC underplanting projects show an average of 103 tonnes of CO2e stored

by 2050 for every hectare planted. [1] Future timber supply was improved through the fertilization of approx. 9,600 hectares [2]

80 communities completed work to reduce wildfire risk. [2] 10.4 million trees planted for carbon sequestration. [2] 864,660 cubic metres roadside fibre utilized to avoid forest carbon emissions. [2]

[1] This number is specific to underplanting in specific areas of the province. [2] Actual completion in 2019/2020 fiscal year.
