ALUS tree planting projects support carbon emissions reductions through both land use changes, which result in the reduced use of synthetic inputs and emissions from heavy machinery, and by sequestering carbon.
Key Points:
- ALUS tree planting projects support carbon emissions reductions through both land use changes, which result in the reduced use of synthetic inputs and emissions from heavy machinery, and by sequestering carbon.
- In 2021, ALUS achievement in planting over 97,000 trees during our first planting season contributed to our national effort to reduce greenhouse gases emissions, enhance biodiversity across Canada, and advance on the path to net zero by 2050.
- We are incredibly proud of the commitment our participating farmers and ranchers make to nourishing biodiversity, says Alyssa Cousineau, Eastern Hub Manager, ALUS.
- The volunteers who showed up to support our ALUS participants are really incredible, says Kate Powell, Program Coordinator, ALUS Peterborough.
