      History

      The Field Services Division was created within the Ministry of Natural Resources at its creation on April 1, 1972, and assumed some of the functions of the former Land Management Division of the Department of Lands and Forests.

      The division oversaw the activities of the following branches: the Forest Fire Control Branch (1972-1978), the Air Service Branch (1972-1978), Engineering Services Branch (1972-1977), and the Conservation Authorities Branch (1972-1977).

      In 1977 the Conservation Authorities Branch and Engineering Services Branch were transferred to the Lands and Waters Group. The division ceased to exist the following year when the Forest Fire Control Branch and Air Service Branch were transferred to the Aviation and Fire Management Centre.
