About INFOR Inc.

July 24 2001 - INFOR
The need for information for primary forest producers has never been so strong. Everybody recognizes the value of education and is now conscious of the strategic importance of information. The NB Christmas Tree Growers Association, the NB Maple Syrup Association and the NB Federation of Woodlot Owners joined forces with very strong support from the NB Department of Natural Resources in order to provide consulting services and promote the sustainable management of private woodlots. INFOR was created in July 2001 and its name is a combination of INFORMATION and FORESTRY.

Since then the organization has made its home Strickland Building 2, (the old YSC Office), where all the documents and other resources are now located. A team is in place to provide access to the latest technical advice, along with education and training opportunities. Furthermore, the quality of the services will be reviewed on a regular basis to better serve the producers.
