Association of Registered Professional Foresters of New Brunswick
Clear the way to peace of mind with Liability Insurance for forest industry professionals
Our professional Errors and Omissions (E&O) Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Property Insurance is custom-cut protection for members of the Association of Registered Professional Foresters of New Brunswick.
Forestry Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance protects you against the cost of liability claims arising from errors, omissions or negligence in daily work as defined by your association. A cessation of business endorsement also applies, and extended coverage may be available if you need it.
If you have Professional Liability Insurance (E&O), you can also take on Commercial General Liability Insurance — often a contractual requirement and always recommended. Commercial General Liability insurance for forestry professionals includes $1 million in liability coverage for third party forest fire-fighting expenses, and pollution liability can also be purchased.
Property Insurance to meet your specific needs is also available when you have Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance, or combine Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance with Commercial General Liability Insurance.

Here are some important details of the Association of Registered Professional Foresters of New Brunswick group insurance policy:

- Coverage is provided for the firm and its employees while conducting business for the firm.
- Commercial general liability coverage can only be purchased if E&O coverage is in place.
- Defence costs are provided in excess to your policy limit.
