THE VOICE OF NEW BRUNSWICK'S FOREST SECTOR

New Brunswick's forest sector contributes to and facilitates significant economic activity and employment opportunities in every region of the province.

 

Forest NB is a non-profit industry association representing New Brunswick's forest industry. Serving as a common voice in relations with government and the public, we aim to empower our members to help grow a better future for our communities. We endeavour to raise public awareness of sustainable forest management practices and provide a forum for the exchange of information, ideas, and issues facing the sector and local communities.
