Become a Forest Restoration Community Ambassador!
As a part of the larger 2 Billion Trees Project, we are looking for people to partner with us to get more diverse tree and shrub species planted in New Brunswick. Becoming a Forest Restoration Community Ambassador means you will let the trees grow to the best of their ability and to maturity, and remain in contact with us the following season so we can check in with how the trees did during planting.
Partner with us…
Do you have an acre of land or more that could use more trees?
An eroded gully that needs stabilization? An open field that could use a windbreak? Even a large backyard that you’d like to attract more wildlife to?
Let us help! The Knowlesville Forest Restoration Project is seeking land to re-forest with diverse species native to New Brunswick. We can help with planning, the cost of trees, and even the planting to craft an affordable landscape that benefits everyone.
Types of Restoration Projects to consider:
- At-Risk Species Conservation
- Grove Planting
- Streamline Restoration & Flood Protection
- Improving Urban Landscapes
- Soil and crop protection
- Windbreaks, shade canopy & other energy-saving plantings
- Restoration of Degraded Forests
- Wildlife Enhancement
