Who we are
A team of professional foresters, technicians, and operators: independent, ecosystem-first, and rooted in Cocagne, NB.
A leading force in restorative forestry
ACFOR is dedicated to transforming woodlots across Atlantic Canada into healthier, thriving forests. Our expertise in restorative forestry guides woodlot owners through sustainable practices that rejuvenate their land.
We're passionate about creating a legacy of robust woodlands for generations to come, ensuring the prosperity of local ecosystems and communities alike.
Our independence matters
Our dedicated planning department is separate from any sawmill affiliation. This means our recommendations are never driven by a buyer's need for cheap wood; they're driven by what's best for your forest.
Our integrated operations and sales give us insights that planning-only groups simply don't have access to.
Meet the team
A multidisciplinary group of registered foresters, technicians, operators, and planners — all working toward the same goal.
