Sep 12, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Members of the Alberta Forest Products Association (AFPA) planted 65 million trees in forests throughout Alberta during the summer of 2014. This works out to 16 trees for every person in Alberta and an average of more than 2 trees for every tree the industry harvested, as AFPA said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

"We are extremely proud of our legacy of forest stewardship," said AFPA President and CEO Paul Whittaker. “Planting trees is an integral part of keeping our forests healthy for future generations and preserving water quality, animal habitat, and recreation areas for Albertans.”

Craig Armstrong, Chair of the AFPA and President and CEO of Millar Western Forest Products, emphasized the lasting impact replanting operations has on Alberta communities. “We reforest all areas we harvest. When we plant trees, we’re focused on sustaining environmental and economic values for the future,” he explained.

“Our company has operated in Alberta for four generations and will be here for many more to come, because we are taking good care of the renewable forest resource.”

The Alberta Forest Products Association is a private, non-profit industry organization, representing lumber, panelboard, pulp and paper, and secondary manufacturing wood products companies operating in Alberta.
