    IMG_0795Welcome to ForestFacts.ca. Did you know...

    Over 15 million hectares of BC’s forests have been impacted by the mountain pine beetle infestation. Between 3 million and 6 million hectares will not regenerate naturally and will require tree planting.

    The BC government’s plan to address the problem will only deal with a small fraction of the area which requires tree planting, and it will take 20 years to complete.

    The effects of the mountain pine beetle infestation for governments, communities and the ecosystem in BC’s interior forests are epic in scope.  Without a better plan they will be catastrophic for generations to come.
