The Pacific Northwest Forest Service Association (PNWFSA) exists:

bullet

To provide opportunities for retirees and persons nearing retirement to share their knowledge of resource management with people living in the Pacific Northwest.  We are particularly interested in providing a contact point for youth groups or schools seeking first person, historic resource management information.

bullet

To provide a link between land management agencies and retirees, emphasizing the importance of historical events, people and equipment.

bullet

To promote relationships beneficial to the conservation of the Northwest’s natural resources.

bullet

To encourage retiring Forest Service persons and their associates to maintain and nurture their professional and personal heritage.

Membership in the PNWFSA is open to: (1) any retiree of the U.S. Forest Service, (2) any current employee of the Forest Service with at least 20 years of government service (including military service), who works in or has worked in the Pacific Northwest and (3) any retiree who has worked for U. S. Forest Service in the Pacific Northwest.

Membership will be granted upon submission of a membership application and payment of dues.  A one-year complimentary membership is granted to any new R-6/PNW Station retiree.

The board may also grant special memberships in individual cases.

We encourage you to browse through the site, check out the links to other pages and Web sites, and submit any suggestions for improvement, or letters and comments that you wish to have included in subsequent Newsletters, which will be published in both print form and on the Web.
