Forestry Section

The Forestry Section of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is responsible for development of forest policies that prevent the introduction and spread of regulated pests into Canada. This is achieved through the development and refinement of policy directives and import requirements targeting the control of known and newly discovered invasive pests and their related commodity pathways of introduction.

The Forestry Program Team, consults closely with Canadian companies, industry associations, federal and provincial government agencies and scientific bodies to maintain and develop export programs for Canadian forestry products. In addition, Forestry Team members participate in working groups and discussions with national and regional plant protection agencies, and the International Plant Protection Convention, to establish phytosanitary and certification standards.
