Developing Harvest-Based Silviculture Planning Tools for the Climate-Smart management of mixed and hardwood temperate forests$816Kvalue2023start2026end

To develop, improve and implement a suite of technological tool that will empower and enable forest managers and practitioners to conduct the best climate-smart silviculture to sustain northern mixed and hardwood stands in eastern Canada and elsewhere.

Digital Timberlands 2020: Digitalizing the upstream portion of the forest products value chain in New Brunswick.$244Kvalue2020start2023end

To establish the basis and to introduce a framework for stakeholders in the New Brunswick forest products sector to engage into the digital transformation of the value chain.

Digital Timberlands 20/20: Digitalizing the Upstream Portion of the Forest Products Value Chain$220Kvalue2021start2023end

This project is centred around the establishment of 100 one-hectare experimental units (cells) in the field. In each cell, detailed measurements will be taken on sample trees that will be followed all the way through harvesting and bucking into products. The sample-tree data will be complemented with super high-density point clouds (>2000/m2), enhanced forest inventories (EFI), remote sensing data (multispectral satellite imagery), harvester on-board computer (OBC) data and other information.

AI-Driven Biomass Optimization in New Brunswick Forestry: Qualification, Data Governance, and Predictive Models for Productivity & Cost$110Kvalue2025start2026end

The organization will publish an evidence-based roadmap for AI-enabled biomass harvesting—combining data analysis, field time-studies, and predictive modeling—delivered as a white paper and an SME case study.

Development of the NHRI Tactical Silviculture Planner$85.0Kvalue2019start2021end

NHRI will be building a Tactical Silviculture Planner that will automatically assign a high-level silvicultural regimes to stands using enhanced forest inventory (EFI) variables and prepare an optimized tactical plan based on critical silvicultural requirements.
