2026 Conference and AGM

June 3-5 in Vernon, BC

This year, the Monashee Community Forest was our welcoming host. Monashee CF is a partnership between the Village of Lumby and the Splatsin First Nation.

Our association would like to extend our most sincere appreciation to everyone who joined us, including the presenters and panelists who shared their knowledge, perspectives and experiences. A big thank you to our field tour hosts from the Monashee Community Forest for the warm welcome, valuable insights into their silvopasture work, and for generously sharing their culture, practices, and community contributions. This event is not possible without our sponsors and those who worked behind the scenes to make this event a success.


Throughout the conference, delegates explored topics including wildfire risk reduction, climate change mitigation, forestry management and stewardship, and the evolving role of community forests in helping to build more resilient landscapes and communities. This annual gathering also provided valuable opportunities for networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among community forests, government representatives, forestry professionals, researchers, and partner organizations.

We look forward to the 2027 Conference and AGM when we will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the BCCFA​​
