If trees could talk, they’d sound like...Nathan Fillion?

At every stage of their lifecycle, Alberta forests help people, plants and animals. Take a virtual walk in the woods to learn more, with Alberta-born actor Nathan Fillion as your guide.

Forests capture carbon, maintain our watershed and are home to thousands of wildlife species.

Forests connect us to the wonder of nature and are part of our history and heritage.

Our sustainable forest industry employs 30,000 Albertans and lets us build things we cherish.

Forest companies monitor and tend to our forest ecosystems.

Whenever a tree is harvested, we grow three more and nurture them for at
least 14 years.

We’re always working to understand our forests better.
