    History

    The Division of Forest Protection was established in 1941 within the Department of Lands and Forests, when the former Forestry Branch was divided into the Division of Forest Protection, the Division of Air Services and the Division of Reforestation.

    On December 1, 1957, functions formerly held by the former Division of Air Services were transferred to the Division of Forest Protection. The division then comprised the Protection Branch and the Air Services Branch. The division was sometimes known afterwards as the "Forest Protection and Air Service Division".

    In 1960 the Division of Forest Protection was replaced with the Forest Protection Branch, which was comprised of the Protection Section and the Air Services Section.
