Addressing climate change with nature
Globally, forests are critical to managing climate change. They can be enhanced as 'carbon sinks' by improving forest carbon management practices such as planting more trees, fertilizing stands and reforesting deactivated resource roads. Making better use of residual wood fibre and avoiding burning in slash piles will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
