One of the goals of the ABCFP is to raise the profile of the profession and forest professionals. We will use this section of the website to keep members up to date on the activities we are planning and to let them know how they can help.

Thanks to Those who Participated in National Forest Week 2009
For National Forest Week (September 20-26, 2009), the ABCFP, launched an art contest and offered free memberships to our student program (START).
