Who We Are
The McBride Community Forest Corporation (MCFC) signed a long-term CFA on February 28, 2007.
This agreement grants MCFC exclusive rights to harvest Crown timber from approximately 60,000 ha surrounding the community of McBride. MCFC is solely owned by the Village of McBride.
McBride Community Forest operates with a 50,000 cubic meter annual allowable cut. There are numerous species in our forests including spruce, balsam, pine, hemlock, cedar, Douglas fir, aspen, birch and cottonwood.
Mission Statement
The long-term vision of the McBride Community Forest Corporation is to serve the social, environmental, and economic needs of the community. In general terms, we will sustainably manage the forest for all of its potential rather than just timber.
