History
The Ontario Forest Research Centre was created on April 1, 1978, when the former Forest Research Branch and Forest Management Branch were combined to form the Forest Resources Branch. At that time, the centre was created and administered as part of the Forest Resources Branch. It was centred in Maple, Ontario, and had four research stations across the province.
In 1981, the Ontario Forest Research Centre was removed from the jurisdiction of the Forest Resources Branch, and became known as the Ontario Tree Improvement and Forest Biomass Institute.
