What are the most effective locations for maximizing the carbon sequestration potential of Canada's 2 Billion Trees program, considering both cost and ecological impact?

A new study suggests optimizing Canada's 2 Billion Trees program by focusing on areas near cities in southern Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes, and southern British Columbia. These regions offer the highest tree growth rates at the lowest cost, aligning with climate and biodiversity goals. The study prioritizes areas where tree cover has been lost due to human activity, maximizing carbon sequestration and broader ecological benefits.
