The ABCFP’s Forest Capital program, established in 1988, provides an important opportunity to celebrate the economic, cultural, natural and historic contributions forests make to community life and the health of the province. Our forests are important to every community in BC. It's a heritage we take pride in and celebrate.

New for Forest Capital of BC 2012
In honour of BC Forest Service’s centenary anniversary, the Association of BC Forest Professionals (ABCFP) is awarding Forest Capital status to the entire province in 2012.

In previous years, communities named the Forest Capital of BC would host a full year of forest-themed events such as art competitions, interpretive forest walks and logger sports shows. This opportunity is now available to any community in BC for 2012.

We encourage communities to work together with BC Forest Service Centenary Society, their local Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations office and other local groups such as community forests, local industry or, Scout or Girl Guide groups.

Send Us Your Celebratory Ideas
Send us your ideas and we’ll endorse them as official Forest Capital of BC projects and promote them on our website, e-newsletter and magazine (BC Forest Professional).

Look out for more details on this page and the BC Forest Service Centenary Society website.
