How Your Business Can Make a Difference in Our Backyard
British Columbia is characterized by abundant forests, rugged Pacific coastline, and pristine lakes and rivers. However, visitors will have noticed a marked difference in B.C.'s trees in recent years.
Insect pests and diseases have decimated enormous areas of forest, becoming fuel for wildfires–and in summer 2017, B.C. experienced its worst wildfire in history, with over 1.2 million hectares burned. Watch the video to learn how PrintReleaf is working with One Tree Planted to recover forrests lost to the devastating wildfires.
