Rooted in community.
Stands for tomorrow.
RCFC manages and harvests Tree Farm License (TFL) 56, approximately 50km north of Revelstoke, BC. Our mandate is to practice forward-thinking stewardship of our resources for the benefit of our community. This includes preserving old-growth trees and caribou habitat, experimenting with new thinning methods and equipment, establishing partnerships with university students, and leaving space for recreational use and cultural practices, while still generating funds and planning for the future.
