novaNAIT Boreal Research Institute

Boreal Research Institute

The novaNAIT Boreal Research Institute (nBRI) is a partnership of industry, education and the community. Administered by NAIT, the Institute is based in Peace River, in the heart of Alberta’s boreal forest. Working with the NAIT School of Sustainable Building and Environmental Management, and other NAIT faculty and students, we promote research collaboration, public awareness, technology transfer and educational opportunities across northwest Alberta.

Acting as a bridge between researchers and the forestry and oil and gas industries, we:

  • provide seminars, workshops, field tours and public information sessions that span the resources sector
  • provide administrative and technical services to research and development initiatives, including
      • the Alberta Forest Extension Network (AFEX)
      • Ecosystem Management Emulating Natural Disturbance (EMEND)
      • the Weberville Community Model Forest

Our affiliation with NAIT, combined with our location in Alberta’s boreal region, ensures that we are at the forefront of high quality multimedia, video conferencing and web-based technologies.
