2012 marks the 100th year that the BC Forest Service has been responsible for most of the management of British Columbia's precious forests. The Service:
- Has managed and protected our forest and rangelands ecosystems,
- Has generated wealth for the province and stimulated local economic activity, and
- Has been and continues to be tightly woven into the social fabric of B.C.
2012 is a time to celebrate past accomplishments and bridge to the future.
BC Forest Service Centenary Society was formed to plan and execute activities for the anniversary year. The Society includes retirees, those currently working, those who have worked for the Service some time in the past, and anyone interested in this history project.
Objectives of the Society
- To celebrate past accomplishments and to inspire optimism for the future.
- To create interest and enthusiasm for the Forest Service and the forest sector.
- To raise awareness of the historic and present role of the Forest Service.
