K&DCFS holds a Probationary Community Forest Agreement in the Kootenay Lake Forest District.  Our PCFA entitles our Society to manage forest resources on an area of 35,000 hectares surrounding the community of Kaslo.  We are honoured and privileged to have this responsibility to manage crown resources over such a vast landbase encompassing wildlands, community watersheds, domestic watersheds, recreational trails and forests.

Our Society is run by a board of 7 elected and 2 appointed directors.  Directors are volunteers who share a vision of managing our PCFA for the common benefit of our communities from Ainsworth to Johnson’s Landing and everyone in between.

Our PCFA is managed by a team of forestry professionals who share our boards dedication to sound, environmentally sensitive harvest and forest management practices.

Our Society has distributed $675,000 directly into our communities.  Educational initiatives, Recreational infrastructure, Seniors housing, Cultural and Heritage projects have been supported by our Society.  We look forward to continuing this support for a long time to come.

Our Society maintains an office in the Government Building in Kaslo.  Hours of operation are Wednesdays between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:30 pm. Subject to change so please call to confirm.
