Exploring Canada's Diverse Forest Regions: From British Columbia to Quebec

Canada is home to vast forest regions, predominantly found in Quebec and British Columbia. While British Columbia features extensive commercial forestry, Quebec hosts some protected forests. With a rich variety of ecosystems, British Columbia includes massive boreal, montane, and west coast forests, where over 60% are commercially utilized due to the aging and abundant timber. The diverse climates across Canada support different types of forests, including coniferous and deciduous trees, each contributing to the ecological and economic landscape of the country.

  1. Forests in Canada

  2. Forest Regions of Canada

  3. Dominate Forest covered provinces • The dominate forest covered provinces are Quebec and British Colombia. • B.C is mostly commercial while Quebec has some protected forests This map shows the commercial and non commercial forests of Canada. (for better map see page 310)

  4. Forests of British Colombia • In B.C there are many massive Boreal, montane, and west coast forests. • These forests are rich in various different trees. • Over 60% of B.C forests are commercial. • Reasons for this include the fact that B.C’s forests are aged, making the wood more valuable. However largely the reason is because B.C is so plentiful in forests.

  5. Commercial forest regions of Canada

  6. Boreal • Location: In all provinces and territories following the shield. • Climate: Large temperature range between seasons. Long cold winter. Short hot summer. • Species: Coniferous trees

  7. West Coast • Climate: Lots of precipitation. Moderate temperatures. • Location: Obviously the west coast. • Species: Coniferous trees

  8. Montane • Location: South-East B.C • Climate: moderate climate. Low precipitation levels. • Species: Small coniferous trees.

  9. Mixed • Location: Southern Ontario • Climate: Modified continental • Species: Deciduous and coniferous

  10. Hard and soft Wood • The difference between hard and soft wood in soft wood comes from coniferous trees and hard wood come from deciduous trees.
