Canadian Woodlands

Canadian Woodlands refer to the vast forested areas across Canada, covering about 347 million hectares. These forests play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, capturing carbon to combat climate change, and providing resources like timber, pulp, and medicinal plants. They are important for Indigenous communities, local economies, and environmental health. Canada’s woodlands include boreal forests, temperate rainforests, and mixed forests, each with unique ecosystems. Sustainable management is vital to balance economic use with conservation, ensuring these forests continue to benefit future generations while maintaining ecological integrity.
