Established with a $6.25 million investment from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, BC Knowledge Development Fund, and Paprican's members, EvaluTree is based in FPInnovation's, Paprican Division Vancouver Laboratory. Additional equipment is located with EvaluTree partners at the University of Northern British Columbia and the University of Victoria.
