Creatively United for the Planet | Trees4Tomorrow - Tree Planting on Hornby Island @creativelyunited | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
One of the two northernmost Gulf Islands, two ferry rides away from Vancouver Island, is Hornby Island, a haven of beautiful beaches and forests inhabited by less than 2,000 full-time inhabitants but visited by hundreds of thousands each year.
Here, Rebecca Carey, a conservationist and professional tree planter, teamed up with Grant Scott, a retired forester to undertake the goal of planting 10,000 trees in less than six months on Hornby Island and other Gulf Islands. Seeing the steady decline of native Cedars and Alders in the past 10 years and knowing that it takes at least 10 years for a new tree to become carbon sinks, Rebecca founded Trees4Tomorrow, a grassroots movement to purchase seedlings and get them into the ground. Learn more about this inspiring story in this short video.
