The B.C. government says 10 billion trees have been planted in the province since reforestation programs began way back in 1930, in Surrey.
Two billion of those trees have been planted over the past seven years, according to forest minister Bruce Ralston, MLA for Surrey-Whalley.
Last year, close to 305 million seedlings were planted in B.C. forests including the 10-billionth since that work began almost a century ago.
