Our Neighbors
The Tree Project
Located within the Canadian Acadian Forest and adjacent farmland, the Tree project is a registered not-for-profit organization, headquartered in rural New Brunswick, Canada. Our mission is to restore biodiversity and encourage community development, both in Canada and internationally.
We believe that trees support all life on earth, whether by giving shade, protecting water, providing a plethora of products for human use as well as shelter and sustenance for many other life forms. The Tree Project advocates the use of renewable energy systems, appropriate technology, community governance, and land based skill-building in all endeavours. The Tree Project encourages eco-tourism, cultural awareness and long term connections between people in Canada and internationally.
The Tree Project acknowledges that a forest or a landscape contains many different forest species, which we include in our home nurseries in Canada including trees, bushes, flowering shrubs and a range of pollinator attractors. Internationally, we plant and restore in mangrove swamps, wetlands, areas suffering from deforestation, and small farms. Seed collection and nursery development are at the forefront, then followed by kitchen gardens and community development.
