A First Nation in British Columbia is taking bold action against wildfire devastation by launching its own tree nursery—the Osoyoos Forest Nursery. Owned by the Osoyoos Indian Band, this 10-hectare facility will churn out 18 million seedlings annually, with plans to plant 5 million themselves to restore lands ravaged by recent fires like the Inkaneep Creek blaze. Partnering with K&C Silviculture Ltd., the nursery prioritizes climate-resilient species like lodgepole and ponderosa pines, while using water-recycling tech to combat the Okanagan’s dry climate. Chief Clarence Louie celebrates this shift from logging to growing, calling it a vital step toward healing forests and securing the future—backed by federal funding, even as the broader two billion trees program shrinks.
