Thank you, Nakusp Men's Shed!

The Men's Shed group recently built four picnic tables for the NACFOR donations program. Constructed out of locally milled White Pine, these tables are beautiful!

If your organization is fundraising, submit an application to the NACFOR donation program for a picnic table. We give them away as silent auction items.

Planting is complete for 2026 ✅

This year, contractors planted 40,765 trees over 29.5 hectares on NACFOR tenure in Slewiskin and Fosthall. Species planted include cedar, fir, larch, white pine, yellow pine, and some spruce.

Seedlings are sown each year, after harvesting is complete, to ensure the right stocking standard and species composition are met.

This week, quite a few of our management team is at the 2026 Conference and AGM in Vernon.

We had a great time on the field tour yesterday on the Monashee Community Forest, and have listened to many engaging sessions today.

Mike, our general manager, was part of a panel today about “defining and delivering community benefits.” Mike talked about our NACFOR governance structure and policy, donations program, and other benefits to community. Great job Mike!

We had a great time with the NES Grade 5,6 & 7 classes last week!

Students joined NACFOR on a hike on a portion of the Kimbol lake trail, checked out the hot springs source and did some forest education activities and games.

The spot where we stopped on the trail has many large cedar trees, one over 300cm diameter!

Our open house is this week! Thursday, May 21st at 5:30pm at the Wensley Creek Recreation Area.
