Most of my tree planting career has been devoted to planting trees as part of a long-term cycle of harvesting wood for the pulp and lumber industries in Canada. Various organizations cut the trees, then myself and other planter go into those areas and plant new seedlings there. This type of work is very much like farming, although on a much longer time scale between crop rotations.
I've always wanted to set up a separate company which focuses on planting trees that will never be commercially harvested in the future. And recently, I finally made that happen. To capitalize on the very well-known website (Replant.ca) that I've been running for many years, I called the new company "Replant.ca Environmental." I'm building this company along with Laura Monk (one of my key planting friends) plus a couple other experienced associates from my west coast reforestation work.
Replant.ca Environmental focuses on planting trees for carbon capture and environmental reasons. We're building community forests and forest reserve areas in Atlantic Canada which will be protected from future commercial harvesting activities. The company is run on a donation/sponsorship model, and addresses the desire of many global citizens who want to make a small contribution to help fight climate change, but who might not be able to do things like tree planting near their own homes.
This year (2019) is the first year that we've been operating this business, but we expect to grow it well past 150,000 trees in 2020, and to more than double that number in 2021. Ultimately, we hope to enable a serious contribution toward the global goal of planting one trillion trees, to fight climate change.
If you're a music fan who has appreciated any of the music that I've shared, or if you found this post because of a link from one of my YouTube tutorials, thanks for reading this far. If you'd like to show some support for my music work, I'd really appreciate if you could check out our website for Replant.ca Environmental, share the website address with some of your friends, and consider making a small donation toward the planting of some trees. It is the many small donations that we get from readers like you that are making a very big difference in helping us plant as many trees as possible!
