"Your Forest is Our Future"
Previously established in 1999-2018 as REGEN Forestry, REGEN Natural Resources Ltd. is a natural environment-based forestry consulting company that was established in 2019, co-owned by Brent Attwell (Ontario Registered Professional Forester) and Peetrylia Zammit (Forest Technician). Over the years we have accomplished many projects for both private and public agencies as well as with individual landowners. As we grow, we continue to manage the forest with the same approach, that the forest health is the most important objective, and all the other aspects are secondary benefits.
Our Objectives
• Improve the quality of existing forests through sustainable practices.
• Help landowners understand their forests and make them more environmentally conscious and economically feasible.
• Enlarge the forested areas that have been depleted and prevent further reduction.

Seed Orchard Management (NeSMA)
NeSMA is conducting several climate change trials whereby assisted migration of southerly species of Jack Pine are being conducted across the Northeast province of Ontario. In these trials different varieties are being monitored for their capability to succeed in different environments. The 11 sites are being monitored and maintained annually to measure their response. A large plantation of third-generation seed orchard stock has been established in the Chapleau area as well.
Black Cherry Project (Clergue)
In 2023, Regen Natural Resources joined Clergue Forest Management on a project for an isolated patch of Black Cherry located in the Algoma forest. Outside of its normal range, this patch is located on crown land, North of SSM near the windfarms. The project entailed silvicultural management for Black Cherry over the course of 2 years, which focused on their silvicultural characteristics such as; releasing all identified saplings to full sunlight, removing all competition impeding their crown.
