Wildfires are destroying trees faster than we are replacing them
Canada is losing trees faster than nature can grow them or people can plant them. A northern Manitoba tree-planting program is trying to replace trees destroyed by wildfires, but the cancellation of the federal Two Billion Trees Program is making that more challenging.

New spade put to the test. Planted a blueberry bush in the garden, moved a spruce seedling from a hopeless spot by the forest road to my little tree school row and two more maple seedling to the backyard.

The little spruce seedlings are really hard to spot as the grass is much taller than them now. I knew there were several in that area but only found one.

The maples seem to reliably grow their taproot uphill, so when they sprout on a slope its easy to dig them out without severing it. The leaves are easy to spot, too.
