An immigrant from Spain started the Tree Legacy Society last year in Coquitlam, a group that aims to combat climate change in B.C.
B.C. landowners who have at least 100 trees on their property can apply to a Coquitlam-based conservation fund for money to save them.
Successful candidates are eligible to receive $1 per tree per year, for up to $25,000, when they ink an agreement of 15 years or more. “From the heat dome that claimed over 600 lives in Metro Vancouver a few years ago to the unprecedented tragedy that is striking Valencia — my hometown — where floods destroyed homes and claimed over 200 lives, it is frightening to witness the devastating effects of climate change around the world,” she said in a news release.
