Greetings!

What's that buzzing sound? A swarm of bees? The hum of traffic? The whirr of your electric tooth brush? No. It's the buzz of activity emanating from the PFLA headquarters as we bustle about getting everything just right for our soon-to-be-held AGM. In case you can't tell, we're excited!

You'll find more information below, along with other PFLA news and happenings we hope you find interesting and useful. As always, thanks for taking the time to read this month's edition of the PFLA Private Forest Matters

Forest owners in B.C. are as diverse and inspiring as the forests themselves. 

 

PFLA has the privilege of representing all of them-from the large to the small, from the coastal to the interior, from the seasoned forester to the novice tree farmer. 

 

In a recent post, you saw first-hand how some of our larger forest owners use planning, assessment and implementation tools to manage their forestry operations. Now, we'd like to introduce you to Stephen Faulkner. [read more]...»


Whether they arrive accidentally or intentionally, non-native plant species arrive without their natural predators and pathogens. Unchecked, they thrive in their new environments. Prolific seed production, deep taproots and early flowering enable these highly competitive species to establish quickly, posing a serious threat to native species, agricultural crops and forest plantations.[read more]...»

Out and About with the PFLA 

We're pumped to participate in the Coastal Invasive Plant Committee's 7th annual general meeting, forum and hands-on field tour, June 7th, at Royal Roads University. We look forward to a day of learning and engagement as we celebrate the CIPC's achievements and explore this year's theme "Vectors of Spread". 
Thanks again for taking the time to read this edition of the PFLA Private Forest Matters. We'd love to hear from you. Drop us a line, send us an email or swing by our Facebook page. Look forward to connecting with you soon!
