Out and About with PFLA
Union of BC Municipalities Convention September 19th, 2013In the spirit of National Forest Week, PFLA is pleased to host our annual complimentary reception for UBCM delegates. An excellent opportunity to connect with ministers, elected officials, ministry staff, mayors and councillors from across the province, we look forward to the chance to answer questions, foster relationships and spread the word about private forestry in B.C. Federation of BC Woodlot Associations AGM September 19-22, 2013 Woodlots: The Island Way, a showcase of community friendly forestry, is the theme of this year's FBCWA conference in Campbell River and Quadra Island.

Who's Excited About BC Trees?
 Forestry organizations are joining forces to raise funds to develop a BC tree identification app. Aimed at young people, their parents and teachers, the app will help users identify trees they find in their communities. Users will also be able to take photos of their favourite trees, make notes on them and use the GPS function on their phone to map these trees. The app will also include a forestry news feed and a calendar of forestry events. Learn more about the project here.
