MAPLE LEAF REPORTS SALE OF SEEDLINGS FROM INNER MONGOLIA

CALGARY, ALBERTA, Apr. 8 -/E-Wire/-- Maple Leaf Reforestation Inc. (TSX Venture - MPE) ("Maple Leaf" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Mr. Xi Yong Tu was appointed General Manager of the Company's Inner Mongolia operations on March 20, 2008 and has already begun to generate some sales and other positive results. All of the recent sales have been on a cash basis, involving an upfront deposit and the balance on delivery.

The Company has recently sold and shipped 200,000 seedlings and received $176,000 RMB (approximately $25,000 CAD) as a deposit for these seedlings. In addition, another 2 million seedlings will be shipped before the end of April 2008 and a further 2 million seedlings will be shipped by the end of May 2008. About $1.4 million RMB (approximately $200,000 CAD) will be received on delivery for shipments for the month of April 2008. Total revenue from the shipments to be made during the month May is not certain at this time, but is guaranteed to be at least the same as that being received for the April shipments. The Company's shipping rate has increased from approximately 30,000 seedlings per day to 90,000 seedlings per day. The recent sales have been done at a discount in order to clear out old inventory of seedlings, resulting in the Chinese Pine and Scott Pine already being sold out.

Mr. Raymond Lai, Chairman, President & C.E.O. of Maple Leaf is very excited about the huge success that has been achieved by the new management of the Inner Mongolia operations in such a short time. With this rate of sales, the Company is hopeful that it will be well positioned financially to proceed with the addition of a second greenhouse in the near future.
