Each year we hold an Open House, an opportunity for the community to come learn about their community forest. This year we are doing a drop-in style open house, so you can come talk to staff and involved community members to learn about what your community forest is working on this year for as little or as much time as you have to share with us, and focus on your areas of interest.
Specific topics around which we’ll have information to share, and people to talk to about:
– 2026 Operating Plan: Where and how we plan to harvest timber for the next 5 years following Ecosystem Based Management principles
– Growing the Community Forest: The Sunshine Coast Community Forest (SCCF) has purchased Forest Licence A86929 and is seeking to convert this 12,000m3 license into a Community Forest Agreement (CFA). This represents a generational opportunity to increase the footprint of forest land managed locally for long-term sustainability, and to renew the call for partnerships with First Nations and local governments.
– Our Board of Directors: Meet some of the passionate people who provide leadership grounded in their values as volunteer community members.
– Community Advisory Panel: A group of interested community members who meet monthly to discuss what they value in local forests
– Community Engagement: What we’re doing to support forest literacy through field trips, free land-based learning opportunities, donations and in-kind contributions of locally grown lumber for community projects.
– Light fare will be served.
Head to SCCF.ca/events to RSVP and you’ll receive a calendar invite and a reminder. RSVP not required.
