History
The Forest Research Branch was created with the Ministry of Natural Resources in 1972, and formed part of the Division of Forests. It assumed responsibilities from the former Research Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests.
On April 1, 1978 the Forest Research Branch ceased to exist when it was merged with the Forest Management Branch to form a new Forest Resources Branch. Within the new Forest Resources Branch, most of the research functions were held by a new agency that formed part of the Forest Resources Branch, the Ontario Forest Research Centre.
