(Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, Nov. 4, 2025) The Canadian Tree Nursery Association-Association
Canadienne des Pépinières Forestières (CTNA-ACPF), which represents over 95% of the nation's forest
restoration seedling producers, expresses profound disappointment following the recent federal
government decision to cancel the balance of the Two Billion Trees (2BT) Program.
“This abrupt move not only threatens the long-term environmental recovery of Canada's forests—
which have already been devastated by recent wildfires—but also jeopardizes the livelihoods of
workers, critical infrastructure, and the entire forest restoration sector” stated Rob Keen, RPF,
Executive Director of the CTNA-ACPF.
