The fRI Research Caribou Program carries out applied research, in partnership with industry and the Government of Alberta, to help maintain caribou herds in Alberta into the future.
The Forest History Program chronicles the natural and management history of the foothills forest.
The GIS program provides an exceptional level of GIS and data management support services for fRI Research.
The fRI Research Grizzly Bear Program provides knowledge and planning tools to ensure the long-term conservation of grizzly bears in Alberta.
The program, formerly known as the Natural Disturbance Program, looks at landscape change at a huge scale: Canada's boreal forest.
In 2016, fRI Research hosted a workshop to identify knowledge gaps in migratory bird conservation. This program was launched in 2017 to meet those needs.
The program carries out focused research on infestations of mountain pine beetle in Alberta.
In 2011, the Fish and Watersheds Program refocused on hydrology and became the Water Program.
