The Aleza Lake Research Forest (ALRF) is located in central interior British Columbia, approximately 60 kms east of the city of Prince George and is approximately 10,000 hectares in size. The history of the Aleza Lake Research Forest dates back to the Aleza Lake Forest Experiment Station Reserve established by the BC Department of Forests and Lands in 1924. The experiment station reserve area (later referred to as a research forest), survived and evolved through a variety of administrative and forest tenures over many decades, until its formal recognition as BC’s fourth university research forest in 2001. ALRF is co-operatively managed by the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), government agency, and industry partners, through the non-profit Aleza Lake Research Forest Society.
