The restoration and protection of valuable habitat and a precious forest ecosystem
BOREALIS’ McPhee Creek Project is in development in June, 2008. The project involves the creation of 80 HA of new forest ecosystem and the long term protection of McPhee Creek, one of the Nechako River system’s most important breeding streams for trout.
By planting 120,000 pine, spruce and Douglas fir trees, the project will reliably absorb and store nearly 60,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, equivalent to the removal of 15,000 cars from the road.
Besides protecting McPhee Creek itself, the project will provide valuable habitat for moose, bear, beaver, and numerous bird species.
