History
The Forest Resources Branch was created on April 1, 1978 from a merger of the former Forest Management Branch the Forest Research Branch.
Within the new branch, an agency called the Ontario Forest Research Centre was established which assumed most of the research functions of the former Forest Research Branch. 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.
In 1989, the Forest Resources Branch was replaced with a new Forest Management Branch.
