Introduction to Reforestation

This certificate provides a comprehensive foundation in the key principles and practices needed to support sustainable forest recovery in Alberta's boreal region—one of the world's most critical intact forest systems. Learners explore the ecological importance of healthy boreal ecosystems and the essential role they play in biodiversity, climate regulation, and long-term landscape resilience.

Throughout the program, you build strong plant identification skills using immersive 360° images and video, learning to recognize common boreal plant species and communities through reference materials, plant anatomy, and distinguishing characteristics. Learners also study the full seed management cycle for boreal upland revegetation, including seed identification, collection, extraction, cleaning, and storage techniques that preserve genetic diversity and support successful germination.
