blue green planet project
Restoring Canada’s forests alongside the people closest to the land.
Blue Green Planet Project is a nature-based sustainability service company restoring forests in Canada — in places affected by climate change, and in communities limited by resource availability.
Over 6,574,011 trees planted to date
We believe in the interconnectedness
of things.
By planting trees we enhance carbon sequestration and improve ecosystem health. Our projects also support rural and Indigenous communities — providing job opportunities and restoring habitat for native plants and animal species. Being founded by treeplanters and managed by treeplanters, we use our experience and our networks to develop projects and mobilize resources to plant trees that would not otherwise be planted.
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.
From a feeling to a forest.
BGPP was a feeling for all of us, before it became a reality — the need to combat climate change through habitual change. Here’s how that feeling grew into the work we do today.
A feeling, before it was a project.
The need to combat climate change through habitual change — felt by a group of treeplanters, but hard to put into action. Long conversations followed.
Sharkwater, and the blue + green.
The films of the late Rob Stewart showed us how the blue and the green work in tandem — and gave the project the conviction to capture our own work on film.
Built by treeplanters, for treeplanting.
BGPP launches: a collective of treeplanters using their experience and networks to develop projects and mobilize resources for trees that would not otherwise be planted.
Partnering at scale across Canada.
We partner directly with Canadian planting companies that collectively put 30+ million trees into the ground each year — giving BGPP the capacity to plant at real scale.
Partnered with the Sharkwater Foundation.
We pair our forest work with our first ocean-ecology project — partnering with Rob Stewart's Sharkwater Foundation to help secure earth's interconnected ecosystems.
The Tree Planter Film Festival.
Inspired by Rob, we begin hosting the annual Tree Planter Film Festival — a celebration of the people, the land, and the work behind every tree we plant.
A quarter-million trees in the ground.
Driven by the existential opportunity to give back, BGPP and its partners cross the 250,000-tree mark.
Kistike'win Wildfire Restoration.
In partnership with Nekote LP, we begin planting native jack pines and black spruce across an area of the Manitoba boreal forest ravaged by 2021 wildfires — restoring habitat and creating forest-work jobs for Swampy Cree community members.
This is just the beginning.
Together with brands, communities and individuals, we're building the momentum to leave forests behind that future generations can be proud of.
How we work
Partnership at every level.
We don’t plant trees ourselves. We fund restoration projects led by Canadian tree planting companies who collectively plant tens of millions of trees each year. That partner network gives us the operational capacity to work at scale — and the relationships that make Indigenous-led projects possible.
Every project we fund is built around three commitments:
Community-led on the land. First Nations and rural communities closest to the work are the ones doing it — through planting crews, seed collection, and long-term stewardship that doesn’t end when the funding does.
Third-party verified. Every project is audited by an independent forester each fall. The dated, documented survival assessments go directly to sponsors — not summarized, not interpreted.
Reported every year. Annual Spring Updates and Fall Survival Assessments are published openly on our site. We’ve kept this rhythm since 2023.

Treeplanting has shaped who I am and how I interact with the world around me. It has provided a community of friends, an income, multiple world views, travel, quiet time in nature, practical skills, and the list goes on. Working within the framework of BGPP has allowed me the opportunity to give back to the communities we work in.

I was born and raised in Smithers where I continue to live with my husband, cat, and dog. I have a Diploma in Management Studies with a focus on accounting. I love camping, snowmobiling, and travelling anywhere with lots of sun.
