The Pacific
Northwest Forest Service Association (PNWFSA) exists:

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.
|
 |
To
provide a link between land management agencies and retirees, emphasizing the
importance of historical events, people and equipment.
|
 |
To
promote relationships beneficial to the conservation of the Northwest’s
natural resources.
|
 |
To encourage retiring
Forest Service persons and their associates to maintain and nurture their
professional and personal heritage. |

(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)

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.

through the site, check out the links to other pages and Web sites, and submit
