As a leading natural gas producer, we take pride in our commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible development. From reforestation to land reclamation, our actions speak to a deeper mission: to leave the land better than we found it.
Investing in nature, one tree at a time
Since 2022, PCE has planted more than 70,000 trees, contributing to carbon offset initiatives and restoring natural habitats across our operating areas. Most recently, we’ve expanded our commitment by supporting the planting of an additional 2,000+ trees through our partnership with Project Forest and the Doig River First Nation Rewilding Project. This initiative not only restores vital ecosystems but also supports Indigenous-led conservation – bringing lasting environmental and cultural benefits to the region.
Reclaiming the land
We prioritize land reclamation as a core part of our operations. To date, we’ve completed surface reclamation on 22 sites, returning these areas to their natural state. We’re also advancing progressive reclamation on two newly constructed locations, a practice that minimizes disturbance and accelerates land recovery even while operations are ongoing.
Partnership-driven progress
Our environmental efforts are strengthened by values-aligned partnerships. In summer 2023, through our collaboration with the Outland Youth Employment Program (OYEP), 40 Indigenous youth replanted two well sites and access roads using native tree species from Twin Sisters Nursery, a venture of the West Moberly and Saulteau First Nations. Site plans were developed by West Moberly-DWB, while OYEP led training and logistics. This initiative reflects our Indigenous Engagement Policy and supports the Truth & Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action 92(ii) by creating equitable opportunities for Indigenous youth.
Wildlife protection through land monitoring
We partner with local Indigenous groups to monitor wildlife before, during, and after project construction. By tracking signs like trails and installing motion-activated cameras, we map sensitive zones and track animal movement for up to two years post-construction. Wildlife cameras capture thousands of images of moose, deer, lynx, and black bears, which help us evaluate reclamation efforts and ensure lasting environmental stewardship.
Looking ahead
Whether we’re rewilding forests, restoring disturbed land, or investing in youth and community programs, our goal is to reduce our environmental footprint and enhance biodiversity across our operations. Together with our partners and communities, we’re working to rewild, reclaim, and renew – one site, one seedling, and one step at a time.
