Established in 1908, the Canadian Institute of Forestry is the national voice for forest practitioners and one of Canada's oldest forest conservation associations. With over 2,000 members spanning industry, government, and academia, we host more than 90 events annually, including conferences, workshops, and field tours. Our initiatives aim to promote networking, recognition, and educational opportunities within the forestry sector. We also support international projects through our registered charity, Forests Without Borders. Join us in fostering sustainable forest management and community outreach!
