The BC Community Forest Association’s October newsletter highlights the release of its 2026 Community Forest Indicators Report, featuring results from 37 community forests reporting on 18 indicators of economic activity, community investment, wildfire resilience and forest stewardship. The BCCFA also looks ahead to working with BC’s incoming government to strengthen community forestry and rural economies. Other updates include November funding deadlines for wildfire risk reduction, forest restoration and silviculture innovation projects; new wildfire safety resources; and an article by DR Systems’ Jaya Freeman on preserving forestry records and institutional knowledge through changing personnel and systems. The newsletter also highlights a new national Wildfire Resilience Knowledge Exchange Platform, an upcoming forestry webinar series, and the 2027 BCCFA Conference and AGM, June 2–4 in Williams Lake.
