You know me from your daily Tree Frog News email, but today, I’m advocating for something different: membership in the Forest History Association of BC. As the newest member of the board, I want to drive up our membership numbers! Our organization is passionate about preserving and sharing the rich history of British Columbia’s forests and the hardworking individuals who have contributed to the sector over the years. Together we cooperate with libraries, museums, and archives throughout the province to collect, describe, conserve, digitize, curate and communicate forest history. Our mission is clear: to ensure that the legacy of BC’s forests lives on for generations to come. But we can’t do it alone.

We need your support to continue our vital work! By becoming a member of the Forest History Association of BC, you not only gain access to exclusive benefits like our quarterly newsletter filled with meticulously researched articles, but you also play a crucial role in preserving our collective heritage. I invite you to join us in our mission. For $20 a year, or $50 for three years, you can make a tangible difference in safeguarding the history of BC’s forests. Who knows? It might even be your own story that becomes part of our cherished archives.

Together, let’s ensure that the stories about people, places, and the forests of this province—the stories that give meaning to and connect all of us—continue to inspire and educate for years to come.
