PLANTING 1 MILLION TREES BY 2035

ABOUT BRITISH COLUMBIA

The West Coast of Canada houses a diverse landscape of ecosystems. The Great Bear Rainforest features temperate forests with towering tall trees, like the Sitka spruce, western red cedar, and Douglas-fir. The southern Okanagan Valley is known for its grasslands, which provide a natural environment for species like the burrowing owl, badgers, and raptors. The Rockies present an alpine tundra landscape, and near the Osoyoos, you’ll find Canada’s only desert, where species of rattlesnakes and cacti can be found.

However, B.C.’s natural habitats are at risk. Human activities such as logging, mining, and urban development, combined with the challenges of climate change, are putting pressure on these ecosystems. The province in 2023 saw its most destructive wildfires yet.

It’s reported that in 2023, B.C. faced its most devastating wildfire season surpassing the destruction of 2018, which resulted in nearly 1.4 million hectares burned, a staggering $615 million in expenses, and the evacuation of thousands of residents. Wildfires don’t just harm the environment, they significantly impact communities, transportation systems, and public health.

With your support, we can restore these forests and sustain a thriving home for all its inhabitants.

We Have Committed To Plant 1,000,000 Trees

Evergreen Building Maintenance is dedicated to environmental sustainability and has set a significant goal to plant one million trees by the year 2035. This commitment became even more vital in the wake of the 2023 devastating forest fire that struck Kelowna, displacing thousands and ravaging hundreds of acres of precious forested land. We take these environmental challenges seriously and believe that it’s our responsibility to be part of the solution. Through our tree-planting initiative, we aim to contribute to the reforestation efforts, not only in Kelowna but also in other affected regions. Our pledge to plant one million trees represents our unwavering commitment to the environment, as we work towards rebuilding and preserving the natural beauty and balance that our planet deserves.

The Initiative

THE INITIATIVE

British Columbia (B.C.) is covered with nearly 60 million hectares of dense forest. The beautiful province has a rich diversity of wildlife with more large animal species, like the Black Bear, Grizzly Bear, Moose, and Gray Wolf, than any other part of North America, making it a vital habitat for wildlife conservation. Unfortunately, many areas of the forest have weakened due to pests and diseases and are now kindling for destructive fires.

Planting a tree can protect and help restore B.C. wildlife’s homes.

WHY SUPPORT THE REFORESTATION INITIATIVE?

Government Building Cleaning - Janitorial Services

Mitigate Wildfire Effects

Young forests act as natural barriers, slowing down wildfires, reducing fire intensity, and producing less harmful smoke.

Help Forest Health

Pests like the bark beetle and Gypsy Moth can damage our forests. A forest with a mix of tree ages and species is stronger against changing climate conditions.

Protect Homes

Forests serve as sanctuaries for wildlife, from birds like the Gold Eagle to mammals like the mountain lion to insects and amphibians.
