Founded in 1995, NAIT's Centre for Boreal Research (CBR) is a premiere research institute dedicated to theinterests and stakeholders of Canada's Boreal forest. The CBR team is led by a Director and three PhDresearchers. CBR is housed in a research complex in the town of Peace River, 500 km northwest of Edmontonand adjacent to the Peace River Oil Sands.Canada's Boreal forest is of global economic significance, containing timber resources, conventional oil andgas, and in situ and surface mineable oil sands. At the same time, industry activity is impacting the ecologicalintegrity of the forest due to the cumulative effects of oil and gas, forestry, utility and pipelines, and resourceroads.The NSERC Industrial Research Chair for Colleges (IRCC) in Boreal Reclamation and Reforestation is acatalyst for technologies and innovation of mutual relevance for oil & gas companies, forest companies, andsmall to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Dr. Amanda Schoonmaker, IRCC in Boreal Reclamation andReforestation, provides oil and gas companies and reclamation SMEs, including forest companies, withpractical techniques and methods for site preparation, deployment of Boreal plant species, and innovativelife-cycle approaches to forest reclamation. Since joining CBR in 2011, Dr. Schoonmaker has mentored over30 students in applied research field operations. Dr. Schoonmaker facilitates NAIT faculty research and is afocal point for research partnerships with university and government scientists. Dr Schoonmaker is committedto the transfer of research findings and the training of industry personnel and SME practitioners through thedelivery of technical notes, seminars, and field tours.

NAIT的北方森林研究中心(CBR)成立于1995年，是一家致力于研究加拿大北方森林利益和利益相关者的一流研究机构。CBR团队由一名董事和三名博士研究员领导。CBR位于埃德蒙顿西北500公里的和平河小镇的一个研究综合体中，毗邻和平河油砂。加拿大北部的森林具有全球经济意义，蕴藏着木材资源、常规石油和天然气，以及原地和地面可开采的油砂。同时，由于石油和天然气、林业、公用事业和管道以及资源负荷的累积影响，行业活动正在影响森林的生态完整性。NSERC北方开垦和再造林学院工业研究教席(IRCC)是石油和天然气公司、森林公司和中小型企业(SME)相互关联的技术和创新的催化剂。Amanda Schoonaker博士，IRCC在北方开垦和再造林，为石油和天然气公司和开垦中小企业，包括森林公司，提供实用的技术和方法，用于场地准备，部署北方植物物种，并创新森林开垦的生命周期方法。自从2011年加入CBR以来，斯库梅克博士已经在应用研究领域指导了30多名学生。斯库梅克博士促进NAIT教师的研究，并与大学和政府的科学家建立研究伙伴关系。斯库梅克博士致力于研究成果的转移，并通过提供技术说明、研讨会和实地考察来培训行业人员和中小企业从业者。
