Inspiring Confidence & Pride in Canadian Forestry
We provide national leadership in forestry and forest stewardship, while promoting competency among forest practitioners and fostering public awareness and education of Canadian and international forest and forestry issues.
Happy National Forest Week!
From September 17-23, 2023, we’re inviting individuals from all ways if life to learn more about the forest sector and its significance to Canada’s culture, history, and future, while also supporting a greater recognition of forests as a valuable, renewable and green resource.
This year’s NFW theme is “Canada’s Forests: Supporting Biological Diversity”.
