WORLD-CLASS RESEARCH
Established 2014
Located in Sussex, New Brunswick, Maritime Innovation Limited is a world-class lab where researchers identify the most robust tree varieties and grow more of them.
It's where science meets the forest—selecting for traits like straightness, tree size, growth rate, resistance to pests, and climate adaptability.
Quick Facts:
- World-leading science, 11 patents granted or pending
- 10 million advanced seedlings planted to date
- Uses advanced tree propagation techniques to produce seedlings from the top tree families, with the best genetics.
- "Smart" transplanting robots using AI to automatically select for seedling quality.
- The process allows us to select high-performing lines from a wide range of natural diversity trees proven in real, local, forest conditions.
These robust little sprouts are the ‘absolute’ best of our tree planting program. But before they travel to the forest, they head next door to the Sussex Tree Nursery to put on some height.
“Every day, I get to see science and technology come together in our lab. It's incredible to see the work we do helps us produce the best trees possible for generations to come.”
