Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of the files of the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for Forests (later Lands, Forests and Wildlife), a position held by Dr. Malcolm L. Prebble consecutively within the Forestry Branch of the Department of Forestry and Rural Development (1965-1968) and Department of Fisheries and Forestry (1968-1970), and finally the Lands, Forests and Wildlife Service of the newly-formed Department of the Environment (1971-1974).

Prebble had previously held a position as Director of the Forest Biology Division of the Department of Agriculture (part of the Research Branch) and its successor the Forest Entomology and Pathology Branch. As such, many of these files include records brought forward from files originally opened under by the predecessor organizations.

The subject matter of the files created while Prebble was in charge of the Forest Biology and Forest Entomology and Pathology Divisions relate to research on insects and tree diseases. The subject matter of the files from after 1965 when Prebble became ADM relate to federal-provincial agreements, departmental policy and planning, and liaison with other government bodies and private agencies.
