Canada nowhere near target of planting 2B trees by 2030

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 Apr, 2023 10:15 AM
  • Canada nowhere near target of planting 2B trees by 2030

Canada's environment commissioner says the country is nowhere near to meeting its goal of planting two-billion trees by 2030.

The Liberals first made the massive tree-planting promise during the 2019 federal election campaign and followed through with a 10-year 3.2-billion-dollar budget for it in 2020.

However, an audit of the first two years of planting says it appears the government isn't on track to get even four per cent of the promised trees in the ground by the end of 2030.
