      History

      The Forest Resources Group was established on April 1, 1978 within the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, replacing the former Division of Forests.

      The group oversaw the activities of the following agencies: the Forest Resources Branch (1978-1989), the Ontario Forest Research Centre (part of the Forest Resources Branch, 1979-1981), the Forest Management Branch (1989-1990), the Timber Sales Branch (1978- 1989), the Forest Products and Marketing Branch (1989- 1990), the Ontario Tree Improvement and Forest Biomass Institute (1981-1989), the Ontario Forest Research Institute (1989-1990), and the Forest Planning Secretariat (1989-1990).

      The Forest Resources Group continued to exist until July 1990, when a ministry-wide restructuring dissolved all existing groups within the ministry, and replaced them with an Operations Division, a Policy Division, and and Information Resources Division. At the same time, the branches within the ministry were considerably rearranged. The Forest Resources Group had no immediate successor within the new structure.
