One Tree Planted And Forests Ontario Partner To Plant 17.5 Million Trees Over Five Years

Creating healthy, new forests is one of the most effective, nature-based solutions in combating climate change and mitigating the impacts of climate change, including extreme weather.

With the help of their planting partners, One Tree Planted (92+ million) and Forests Ontario / Forest Recovery Canada (41+ million) have collectively planted more than 133 million trees.

In an effort to give back to the environment, create a healthier climate, protect biodiversity, and help forest restoration efforts throughout Canada, One Tree Planted is partnering with Forests Ontario and its national division, Forest Recovery Canada, to plant 17.5 million trees over the next five years.

“We are excited to bring our partnership with Forests Ontario to the next level,” Matt Hill, Founder & Chief Environmental Optimist, One Tree Planted, says. “Together, we will plant millions of trees across Canada over the next five years. We look forward to everything we will be able to accomplish for forests, biodiversity, and communities.”

One Tree Planted is a non-profit that is focused on global reforestation. Since 2014, they have planted over

92 million trees in 80+ countries across North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Pacific. Their work is done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create lasting impact for nature, people, and wildlife.

Forests Ontario and its partners have developed the expertise and infrastructure to grow and track tree planting from seed to healthy forest. Through its comprehensive network of partners and programs, Forests Ontario and Forest Recovery Canada have planted more than 41 million trees, resulting in 20,500 hectares of new forest created across more than 8,300 project sites.

“Our earliest work with One Tree Planted was identifying one-off planting sites for support and we are excited to grow that partnership into a collaboration that will see the creation of healthy forests across our country,”

Rob Keen, Chief Executive Officer of Forests Ontario, and Registered Professional Forester, says. “We are very proud of this partnership with One Tree Planted and that Forests Ontario is an integral part of our combined efforts to plant new forests in Canada.”

Creating healthy, new forests is one of the most effective, nature-based solutions in combating climate change and over their lifetime, these trees will sequester significant amounts of carbon and mitigate the impacts of climate change, including extreme weather and flooding while reducing biodiversity loss.

“This partnership with Forests Ontario is an incredible opportunity to elevate restoration and reforestation in Canada to new levels,” Stephanie Clement, Canada Project Manager at One Tree Planted, says. “We are thrilled to be supporting Forests Ontario in planting

millions of trees, restoring Canada’s forests, and making a positive impact for local communities on the ground.”

“The benefits locally are really quite extraordinary,” Elizabeth Celanowicz, Chief

New Supergrip RG16-V From Hultdins

Hultdins adds a new versatile grapple into the SuperGrip assortment.

Combining a super strong SuperGrip 360S with the SuperGrip RG16, the new grapple gives you a durable and versatile grapple for many applications.

SuperGrip RG16-V has three very strong grapple arms that both can handle timber and do material handling, the synchronized arms make the grapple easy to control and handle when loading and handling material.

The grapple is equipped with a cushioned cylinder to reduce shock loads and incorporates a direct mounted load holding valve for maximum safety. The cylinder is more protected inside the frame to minimize potential damage to the cylinder rod.

Operating Officer, Forests Ontario, says. “Ensuring successful tree planting requires the integration and support from highly skilled individuals along the entire tree planting supply chain, including seed collectors, nursery workers and professional tree planters providing green jobs in rural communities. We can’t wait to start our new planting season.” SP
