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.

Celebrate National Forest Week with the ABCFP
National Forest Week is September 19 to 25. It is a time to celebrate Canada’s forests and to remember all the great things forests do for us (clean air, building products, places to camp and hike, jobs and much more!). The Association of BC Forest Professionals (ABCFP) is holding an art contest for young people in BC is offering free subscriptions to START, our student articulation program.

Art Contest for Kids
The extremely popular art contest is back! The Truck Loggers Association and the ABCFP are pleased to offer the art contest to children between the ages of 4 and 12. Draw us a picture of what the forest means to you using the form below. There will be a winner in each age group (4-5, 6-8, 9-12) who will receive a $50 Chapters gift card.

Teachers: We encourage you to incorporate the contest into an art or forestry class. Teachers can submit an entire class’s pictures in one package. If you would like to have a forest professional come to speak to your classroom, please contact Amanda Brittain, director of communications, at .
