indigenous led forest restoration

Restoring 8.9 million trees to wildfire-damaged Manitoba.

Blue Green Planet Project funds wildfire restoration in Canada’s boreal forest.

Currently at Devil’s Lake Kistike’win in central Manitoba, in partnership with Nekote LP and seven First Nations. Blue Green Planet Project helps turn support into real restoration work on the ground.

Help rebuild wildfire-damaged forests through verified tree planting.

In 2021, a wildfire swept through the jack-pine forest at Devil’s Lake Kistike’win on Highway 6 in central Manitoba. The land sits outside any Forest Management Area — no mill, licensee, or government was legally obligated to replant.

Indigenous partners are leading the restoration of this land, while Blue Green Planet Project helps fund the operational gap so millions of trees can return to the land alongside local jobs, training, and long-term stewardship.

Your support helps move this restoration work forward, funding the next trees planted and helping bring life back to land impacted by wildfire.

Founded by treeplanters. Managed by treeplanters.

Blue Green Planet Project was founded by people who have spent their working lives in the ground. We use that experience — and the networks that come with it — to fund restoration in places that wouldn’t be planted otherwise.

That means forest outside any Forest Management Area. Land where wildfire arrived before natural regeneration could take hold. Communities closest to the work, leading it on the ground. We cover the operational shortfall that government funding alone can’t reach. The verification is visible: third-party fall seedling assessments, sent to partners directly, dated and documented. The trees are the outcome. The partnership is the work.

Impact you can measure.

Bell Fire Restoration

Led with Shoal Lake Cree Nation, this restoration project is helping revive boreal forest ecosystems damaged by the 2021 Bell Fire in Saskatchewan’s Pasquia Hills. Through community-led planting of native spruce, the project supports wildlife habitat, watershed health, carbon sequestration, and the return of traditional land-based activities for future generations.

Investing in Oceans

The world is one big, connected place and what happens on land affects the oceans. So, we’re sharing 20% of our bottom line with ocean ecology projects. Our initial project is Robert Stewart Sharkwater Foundation.

Why this work matters.

The boreal forest carries about a quarter of the world’s remaining intact forest, and it’s burning more, harder, and more often than it did a decade ago. Wildfire is part of the boreal ecosystem — but when fire returns to land already weakened by infestation, salvage, or repeat disturbance, the forest doesn’t always come back on its own.

"Sarrah Storey"

Blue Green Planet Project is such a great initiative; Fraser Lake has benefited from 180,000 trees planted in 2021 alone. Seeing the benefits of this project first hand, we appreciate the work being done to take action on climate change.

"Canmore Chrysler"

At Canmore Chrysler we live by our motto — "We CAN Do MORE" so we decided to plant trees with every vehicle sold. We chose Blue Green Planet Project because we were impressed by their capacity to deliver on projects as well as their eagerness to help to secure our planet.

"Jamie Parker"

Our goal is to help keep our wild places a little wilder. Through our partnership with the BGPP we have been able to invest in our ecosystems by planting over 71,000 trees on Canadian soil, giving back to the habitats we love so much. Our goal of planting one million trees by 2030 wouldn't be possible without this collaborative effort.

"Britt"

We have seen first-hand how climate change has & continues to affect the beautiful forest and mountains that surround us. We have partnered up with BGPP and are committed to plant one tree for every course registration and swag sale we receive. We are trying to focus on the steps we can take and hope that if everyone does the same we will be better off.
