Bass Pro donates $200K to nonprofit tree-planting effort

Posted online

Springfield-based Bass Pro Shops is financially supporting an effort to plant trees in Canada.

The Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund last week donated $200,000 to Forests Ontario, according to a news release. The funding is intended to support the planting of 200,000 trees in 2024 and 2025.

"At Forests Ontario, we build strong relationships with a comprehensive network of experienced partners who understand the transformative power of healthy forests – and that includes Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s,” Forests Ontario CEO Jess Kaknevicius said in the release. "We are proud of the healthy, resilient forests we will grow together across Canada, and we hope it inspires other corporate partners to support the creation, restoration and care of our natural landscapes."

The Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Outdoor Fund made previous contributions in 2022 and 2020 to Forests Ontario, supporting the planting of more than 306,500 trees.

Over the past two decades, Ontario has supported the planting of more than 43 million trees, according to the release.
