Proposed Rights to Practice
The New Brunswick Forest Technicians Association (NBFTA) works under the framework set by the Foresters Act to ensure that our members uphold the highest standards of professional conduct, competence, and integrity. This legislation ensures that our work in forestry serves the public interest and that our members act in the best interest of the people of New Brunswick.
Current Legislation
The Foresters Act and accompanying By-Laws govern our members, providing a clear structure for ethical and professional practice. We are committed to ensuring that New Brunswick’s forests are managed responsibly and sustainably, with skilled professionals at the helm.
