Did you recently change jobs, start a consulting business, get promoted or receive an award? Don’t be shy. Share your news with your colleagues.

Obituaries
It is very important to many of our readers to receive word of the passing of a colleague. We rely on members and immediate family to provide obituaries of recently deceased members for publication in BC Forest Professional. Please include a photograph if you can.

Special Feature: BC’s Forestry Team in Action
Each year in the November/December issue, BC Forest Professional includes a full-colour special feature called “BC's Forestry Team in Action.” In it, we showcase forestry projects covering all disciplines. We are always on the lookout for a broad range of forestry projects, from everyday projects to ones that are innovative or new. If you have a project to include in this feature, send us a project photo, a brief project description, a list of the organizations and professionals involved and a contact person. The deadline is the beginning of September each year.
