Overview
Our membership plays an important role in rural British Columbia. Woodlot operators in our associations contribute stability and leadership within their communities, create local employment, produce a wide variety of products from the forest, offer environmental protection, and generate additional landscape values from the pride they take in their operations.
The FBCWA supports its members and woodlot licensees through meetings, field trips, extension services, and conferences as well as works with all levels of government to ensure public forest policy is relative to small-scale forest management.
All woodlot operators are encouraged to join and be involved in their local association. If you do not wish to be a member of a Woodlot Association but would still like to belong to the Federation, please contact admin@woodlot.bc.ca for information about membership.
