We’ve captured the 2026 BC First Nations Forestry Conference highlights, key takeaways, and memorable moments in our 2026 Proceedings Report, we invite you to explore and revisit the conversations that made this year’s event so impactful. The 2026 BC First Nations Forestry Conference was hosted on the traditional, unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) Nation in Kelowna, BC. This year’s conference was guided by the theme Forest Nations Rising: From Strong Roots to Global Horizons, bringing together First Nations, industry, government, sponsors, and partners to shape the future of forestry in British Columbia. This year’s event reflected both the growing strength of First Nations leadership and the deepening relationships transforming how forests are stewarded, managed, and shared. The continued support of industry leaders, program partners, sponsors, and educational institutions, alongside the dedication of Nations and government, made this gathering possible and underscored a shared commitment to advancing the sector together.
