The CNC Research Forest area was entrusted to the College of New Caledonia (CNC) as a critical resource to support and enrich student education via CNC’s Natural Resources and Forest Technology program. The Research Forest provides for excellent experiential student learning and research opportunities and first-hand experience in forest resource stewardship.  At the same time, northern British Columbia is afforded ready access to a venue for forest-based research, and an expert team of researchers to tackle your applied research and innovation challenges.
