Toronto, Ont. (November 9, 2026) – National charity Forests Canada and reclamation, restoration, and environmental services supplier Aski Reclamation LP (Aski) are partnering to help restore natural landscapes in Northeastern British Columbia (BC).
“Forests Canada is incredibly proud to be working with Aski Reclamation,” Jess Kaknevicius, Chief Executive Officer, Forests Canada, says. “We rely on the local expertise of our planting partners and Aski’s long-term, in-depth knowledge of the landscape in Northeastern BC will help us deliver projects at the highest-possible quality.”
Based in Moberly Lake, BC, owned and operated by Saulteau First Nation within Treaty 8 Territory, Aski offers a unique business model integrating ecological and First Nations’ knowledge with industry’s demands and best practices. Aski values being locally based and seeing the landscape as an investment for local land users across the region with different concerns and objectives.
"We see this partnership with Forests Canada as a way to do something meaningful for our local communities," Alycia Aird, General Manager, Aski, says. "At Aski, our vision is integrating different ways of knowing, and different end land-use goals, into meaningful recovery or restoration of lands. We recognize habitat enhancement can look different for each land user and landowner, and hope to create habitat recovery that is valuable for future generations."
Forests Canada and Aski are looking for landowners in the northeast region of BC – specifically the Chetwynd and Moberly Lake communities – interested in afforestation, riparian planting, or the creation of windbreaks on their property. These projects support biodiversity and critical wildlife habitats while helping to clean the air and water while creating healthier, more resilient communities.
The Forests Canada Tree Planting Program makes these projects easier and more affordable by significantly reducing the costs of tree planting. Landowners interested in applying for a project on their property can visit www.ForestsCanada.ca/PlantTrees.
