      Historique

      The Office of the Surveyor General of His Majesty's Woods and Forests was created by a Commission issued on July 17, 1827 by the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury. The Commission appointed Peter Robinson to the position of Surveyor General of His Majesty's Woods and Forests. (Robinson held the office concurrently with that of Commissioner of Crown Lands.)

      A Deputy Surveyor General of Woods and Forests was added to the office at a later time. The Surveyor General of His Majesty's Woods and Forests reported to both the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury and to the Lieutenant Governor.
