The 2 Billion Trees (2BT) program aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the planting of 2 billion trees over 10 years. Researchers are eager to understand how Canada’s watersheds will respond to such extensive tree planting. This research project will determine if the program’s carbon sequestration goals will affect water security. It will explore how tree planting impacts hydrology within a Canadian context, informing tree planting for the 2BT program that supports water security and mitigates potential long term negative effects on water availability. .
