The federal government says it will invest up to $50 million toward a proposed “digital forestry centre” in New Brunswick. The project aims to modernize how the province manages its wood supply, with artificial intelligence used as part of the effort.
Several outlets report that the centre would create a digital twin of New Brunswick’s forests, supporting planning and decision-making for the forestry sector. Business-oriented coverage adds that the technology is intended to help identify ways to maintain or improve industry profitability.
While the specific descriptions of outcomes vary—some focus on modern management of the wood supply and AI tools, others emphasize digital-twin functionality and profitability—the articles consistently describe the same federal funding level and the same general purpose: using high-tech systems to support New Brunswick forestry.
