The Tree Canada Foundation and Pegasus Publications are proud to announce the arrival of Canadian Trees magazine, a vital and truly one-of-a-kind publication. This beautifully designed, full-colour magazine is the first and only national publication wholly dedicated to celebrating an integral part of Canada’s prosperity and heritage - our trees and forests.
Canada is blessed with 10% of the world’s forests, 180 distinct tree species and over $43 billion generated from forest-related eco-tourism and wood products. But with 80% of Canadians living in cities and towns, the remarkable health and financial benefits of such an abundance of trees are not fully appreciated. Canadian Trees provides informative, engaging content that reminds citizens of our status as a leading "forest nation" by highlighting the places, people and issues that affect our greatest natural asset.

Launched in October of 2004, the inaugural issue generated immediate interest amongst industry professionals and everyday tree-lovers alike. From useful growing tips to articles on urban beautification, forest fires and profiles of industry leaders, it is the definitive magazine for people who are passionate about trees. "A symbiotic, passionate relationship exists between people and trees," says Dorothy Dobbie, President of Pegasus Publications Inc. and President of the advocacy group the Coalition to save the Elms. "This magazine gives expression to our fascination with trees, a topic whose time has come".
As the Editorial Advisor to the magazine, Canadian Trees directly compliments the Tree Canada Foundation's public awareness and educational goals. "Forests provide millions of dollars worth of environmental services", says Jeff Monty, President of the Tree Canada Foundation. "They are the ultimate clean air factory, performing the combined functions of air filter, sponge, humidifier, heat shield, wind block and carbon sink. We are proud to partner with Pegasus Publications and bring these amazing stories to Canadians everywhere".
The Tree Canada Foundation is a charitable organization that partners with local volunteers in communities across the country to improve quality of life by planting and caring for trees. Planting over 75 million trees in Canadian neighbourhoods, schoolyards, parks and countryside, the Foundation leaves a living, breathing legacy for generations to come.
Pegasus Publications is the Winnipeg-based publisher of a number of high quality magazines and periodicals. Their very popular regional publications Ontario Gardener, Manitoba Gardener and Alberta Gardener are loyally read by hundreds of thousands of gardening enthusiasts.
