Rewilding Canada by Planting Forests | From Field to Forest | Project Forest Interview

GreenBusinessImpact

Protecting our world is more than just about the talk about Carbon. But we must consider our environment as well. Provide places for plants and animals to grow and flourish.

That is what Mike Toffan and his team at Project Forest do.

Find non-productive agricultural land and transition those areas into forests. Transitioning these lands into forests provides a whole plethora of benefits besides just sequestering carbon or reducing a carbon footprint.

But they can create cultural significance for local indigenous populations. Create a home for numerous forest plants and animals.

Bring the area back to life, and rewild it.

Make sure you check out this entire episode to hear how Mike does this for each of his corporate clients.
