This March, BGPP is travelling to The Pas, OCN, Wu This March, BGPP is travelling to The Pas, OCN, Wuskwi Sipihk, Cross Lake, Moose Lake, Chimawawin and Sapotawayek, to spread the word about our upcoming tree plant. We established and strengthened our presence by visiting community centers, high schools, and colleges. We had flyers, planting bags, shovels and plenty of coffee with us. Word is spreading about our upcoming plant and our hiring is moving along nicely. Currently, we have 7 returning planters, our highest number to date, as well as 2 joining us for management training in the pre-season. 

Spring has just about sprung, and with that our 5th season reforesting the Devil’s Lake wildfire ground. Trees for the upcoming season are patiently awaiting the thaw. Following that they will be packed and shipped to the worksite for approximately May 1st.
 
For the 2026 plant, we will again be working in the Devil’s Lake wildfire region of Central Manitoba. There has been a higher snow pack than the past few years, but the temperatures seem to be right on par for a typical Northern Boreal winter. We are currently projecting a start date of May 1st. Should all go to plan, this will be our final year reforesting Devils Lake, before moving to a new region. 

Woodmere Nurseries has filled our order for the 2025 planting season totaling 3 million trees lifted and packaged for the upcoming spring season. 
The site is currently covered with snow, viewing was done this past October by Nisokapawino Forest Management Corporation and BGPP to assess the ground and determine what trees should go where. The land is mostly drive, ATV and walk accessible with some trees to be flown in. 
We are bringing back an on site counsellor for the 3rd season to aid in supporting all community workers.

Thank you again for your support and continuing to spread the word through your contributions!
Days like this! Overcast, no rain, and land as far Days like this! Overcast, no rain, and land as far as the eye can see. 

This will be our final year reforesting the Devils Lake wildfire area in partnership with Nekote LP. Stay tuned for future planting areas! 

Currently, we are planning our information and hiring workshops for the 2026 season in the 7 communities partnered within Nekote LP. Hope to see you!

Tree planting is hard work! Long work days, rising Tree planting is hard work! Long work days, rising in the cold and rain, eating during windstorms and sleeping on the ground. Tree planters strike their shovels in the ground thousands of times a day, walk over 10kms with 50lb plus weight on their hips and spend months far away from friends and family. 

Tree planters are a tough people, and the most successful ones have boatloads of stamina, focus and drive. A good sense of humour (see: bush haircuts) is the secret to an unforgettable season. 

Thank you to all the tree planters that have helped us reforest the Devils Lake and Shoal Lake wildfire areas. Your dedication, perseverance and joy is what the world needs more of!

National day for Truth and Reconciliation marks th National day for Truth and Reconciliation marks the day we honour children who never returned home and the survivors of residential schools. 
At BGPP we were fortunate to have an elder stay in camp and teach us some cultural activities of the Swampy Cree, such as drum and rattle making as well as sweats and ceremony. 
Recognizing the importance of sharing and respecting traditional ways while working with the land is imperative to the goals of truth and reconciliation. 
Thank you Andy for sharing your knowledge and strength with us. 

We stand in solidarity with all of our indigenous partners and peoples, and recognize the challenges communities face to this day.

That’s a wrap on the 2025 Devils Lake Wildfire Res That’s a wrap on the 2025 Devils Lake Wildfire Restoration project in partnership with the 2 Billion Tree program and Nekote LP! 

3 million trees were planted this past spring by our hard working treeplanters with @summitreforestation and local First Nations from Opaskwayak First Nations and Chemawawin First Nations. 

This project is in collaboration with multiple small businesses and large non-profits that share in our vision of a greener tomorrow. 

Overall it was a successful plant. We had the good fortune of cool temperatures and (mostly) clear days. There were however, many wildfires occurring around us in southern, central and northern Manitoba. It was a devastating year for wildfire activity in Canada, highlighting the importance of reforestation efforts not only locally but globally. We were fortunate enough to have our project shared by CBC Manitoba during the season, garnering much interest and feedback on the project. To read about what we do and the impacts please see the link to article in comments. 

Thank you again to everyone involved. We couldn’t do it without you! Stay tuned for our 2025 survival assessment report. 

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The next best time is now.

Shout out to Shoal Lake Cree Nation! The Bell Wi Shout out to Shoal Lake Cree Nation! 

The Bell Wildfire of 2021 burnt hundreds of hectares in the Pasquai Hills of North Central Saskatchewan. 

Shoal Lake Cree Nation is determined to restore the natural habitat affected by the wildfire. Trees are planted by members of the Shoal Lake community along with Summit Reforestation to provide improved habitat for wildlife including: elk, white tail deer, moose, bear, woodland cariboo, wolves, cougars and over 350 species of birds. 

These forests will sequester carbon, improve watershed function and decrease soil erosion. Providing forest resiliency for future generations. 

If your community has been affected by wildfire - reach out! Our team consists of folks that have dedicated their lives to reforestation. We can help through consultation, project management and funding partnerships.
