The Ontario Forest Research Institute (OFRI) is home to MNR’s main forest research section. Researchers at this institute are working hard to better understand forests and their responses to human activities. What they learn helps ensure that Ontario’s forest management policies, planning, guides, and practices are firmly rooted in science.
