Planting with Purpose: Reaching Our Reforestation Milestone and Investing Over $1 Million Into the Forests.

Over the past 17 years, the Creston Community Forest (CCF) has planted approximately 2,057,226 trees, investing $1.1 million across 1,960 hectares. In addition to planting, are the silviculture surveys which tell us how an area is progressing after it has been logged and planted.

This spring marked a significant milestone: for the first time in its 27 year tenure, the CCF caught up with its reforestation commitments. Moving forward, we now plan on an extensive review of our cutblocks to ensure these areas are continuing to establish successfully and remain on a healthy trajectory.

Reforestation is part of silviculture and one of three pillars guiding us forward. https://www.crestoncommunityforest.com/what-we-do
