Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - March 9, 2025 - A joint investment of $53 million from the federal and Tłı̨chǫ governments is expected to plant 13 million trees on Tłı̨chǫ lands in the N.W.T. in the coming years.

The Tłı̨chǫ government signed an agreement with Tree Canada and Let's Plant Trees in 2023 to plant one million trees over three years around Behchokǫ̀.

The Tłı̨chǫ government is now pitching in over $8 million to plant another 12 million trees over the next seven years.

The project aims to restore ecosystems, create jobs, and bring back boreal caribou habitat.

It is expected to have long-term benefits like reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing resilience to climate exchange, and providing protection from future wildfires.
