3. Faces of Forestry Booklets
Our faces of forestry booklets feature pictures and members' comments about careers in forestry and what they enjoy most about their jobs. The original booklet was produced in 2007 to celebrate members during our 60^th anniversary. In 2009, we published a second version featuring some of our Aboriginal members. Both can be distributed as recruitment tools.
