Forestry Research Program

By the 1990s, Alberta needed better knowledge of forest resources and processes, growth and yield rates, effects of management systems, ipmacts of other uses and users, and responses to fire and insects. The results proved applicable not just to forest managers in the Alberta foothills, but across western Canada also.

This program’s successor, the Foothills Growth and Yield Association, ran from 2000 until 2015 when it amalgamated with the Forest Growth Organization of Western Canada.
