The British Columbia Community Forest Association (BCCFA) is a network of community-based organizations in British Columbia that are either managing community forests or striving to establish community forests.

We are a membership-based organization, and count the participation of over 50 communities and organizations around the province. It is only through the dues of our members that we support our core activities. We identify annual priorities for special projects and seek outside funding sources to support those activities.
