Kim Allen
Executive Director
Born and raised in rural New Brunswick, Kim has a life-long affinity for all things wild and natural. Early years spent in fields, forests, and water shaped her formal education and career paths. She has over 35 years of experience in agriculture, environmental, and resource management through roles in government, academia, and the private sector. As an experienced senior executive, she provides strategic leadership for organizational management and growth, diplomacy, and advocacy in her role as Executive Director for Forest NB.
With a background living and working in rural, resource-based communities Kim has a practical understanding of the complex, synergistic relationship that rural and urban New Brunswickers share. She takes pride in representing a dynamic and sustainable forest sector and is passionate about shaping better futures for our communities.
Kim is also still active in the agriculture sector as a Professional Agrologist and Licensed Seed Crop Inspector and enjoys “field vacations” in crop season. She values her family and friends above all else, and enjoys most of her free time outdoors, gardening, fishing, hiking, hunting, and exploring new places on her motorbike.
