Canada has 10 per cent of the world’s forests
Sure, everyone knows we have a lot of trees but did you know that Canada actually has 30 per cent of the world’s boreal forest and 10 per cent of the world’s total forest cover? An incredible 396.9 million hectares of forest and other wooded land can be found across the country – about 68 per cent of Canada’s forests are coniferous. The best part of all? Most of Canada’s forest land is publicly owned.
