Much of Canada’s drinking water comes from forested watersheds. The 2 Billion Trees (2BT) program offers a truly unique opportunity to reduce net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while simultaneously ensuring co-benefits to water quality and aquatic ecosystem health. The success of the 2BT program in demonstrating co-benefits to water is not guaranteed with existing planting approaches, and depends entirely on planting the right trees in the right places. This project plans to combine a trait-based modelling approach with a spatial hydrologic connectivity approach to determine the right tree to plant in the right place. This plan will maximize environmental co-benefits to water. .
