Overview of historical changes
Foshan Forestry Research Institute was established in August 1960. Its predecessor was the Foshan Branch of Guangdong Forestry Research Institute. It was established at Luofushan Forest Farm in Boluo County. Due to changes in the administrative region system, it changed five positions and moved four. Second home. Moved from Boluo to Zhongshan in March 1963, moved from Zhongshan to Xianxi Village in Dali, Nanhai in March 1965, and moved from Xianxi to Kaiping Shuijingyuan Forest School in Foshan District in 1969, and moved to the current location in 1974 to stabilize , And was renamed Foshan Forestry Research Institute in 1984.

Introduction
Foshan Forestry Research Institute is a public welfare scientific research institution with applied research and technology development as the main body. It has the two brands of Guangdong Province (Foshan) Forestry Regional Test Center and Foshan Garden Research Institute. Founded in August 1960, the institute is located at latitude 23 north and longitude 113 east. It is located on Xingye Road, Shishan Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta. It is connected to Xiaotang City in the southwest and adjacent to Zone C of Shishan Science and Technology Industrial Park in the northeast. The area is 860 mu.
There are 34 employees in the institute, including 3 with senior titles, 9 with intermediate titles, and 3 with junior titles; 1 technician, 13 senior technicians, 4 intermediate technicians, and 1 junior technician.

For more than 40 years, the institute has been adhering to the scientific spirit of seeking truth, being pragmatic, innovative, and developing, and insisting on the principle that scientific research work must advance with the times, must be closely linked to the characteristics of the times, regional characteristics and the requirements of social and economic development, and carry out systematically Comprehensive forestry scientific research and technology development work. In various research fields such as introduction and cultivation, tree breeding, forestry technology, urban forestry, forestry ecology, gardening, etc., in-depth research and technology development have been focused on at different periods:

In the 1970s, he mainly conducted research on the introduction and cultivation of foreign pine species and the construction of seed gardens, and related research and popularization of the Pearl River Delta farmland forest network. In the 1980s, the focus was on the grafting technology of camellia polychromatic varieties, the construction technology of tea gardens, the research and promotion and application of the introduction and cultivation technology of slash pine and acacia species, and the construction technology of slash pine 1.5 generation seed garden.
