About
The New Brunswick Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Unit (NBCFWRU) was established in April 1989 at the University of New Brunswick (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada) within the Faculties of Forestry, and Science, as a cooperative effort between the University and the NB Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development. The NBCFWRU has been modeled after the many successful cooperative fish and wildlife research units within the United States.
