FBCWAThe Federation of BC Woodlot Associations is proud to present Forest Life: British Columbia Woodlots, a coffee table book showcasing and celebrating BC's woodlots and woodlot licences and the families who so diligently manage them.

Through beautiful photos and a few words, this book captures the seasonal beauty of coastal and interior woodlots and portrays the landscapes and diversity of our forests as well as the stewardship of those who managae them. Order copies of this beautiful book for $39.95 plus Shipping and Handling charges.

The book was commissioned to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Federation. It features over 100 woodlot licensees and their families. In addition, we have attempted to capture the natural diversity of beautiful BC including its flora and fauna, forest stewardship and woodlot management.

Our Coffee Table Book is now for sale!
