What is a Forest manager?

A Forest manager/forester is responsible for managing a forest area as an economically viable enterprise or social community area with due regard for the protection of the forest environment.

Forest manager maintain and manage the balance between various issues associated with woodland areas, such as commercial interests, biodiversity, landscape and public access.

22nd Annual Members’ Meeting – March 12

The 22nd Annual Members’ Meeting was held on Wednesday, March 12, 2008 at the World Trade Center.

The goal of this meeting was to nominate and renew the board and give an overview of the FACC’s past and future activities to its current members.

The event featured Mr. Serge Bellanger, who is the President of the French-American Chamber of Commerce in the USA. We were very pleased to have him talk about “France: A New Leadership in a New World”. This topic is very much discussed in the USA and in the Pacific Northwest in particular.
We can indeed notice that many Seattlelites are very much aware of the politics in Europe and in France more specifically.

The rest of the evening went very smoothly and people didn’t seem to be wanting to leave.
Our events are more and more well attended and increasingly appreciated by our guests, which please us very much.

I also want to warmly thank our two sponsors: Air France and MC Next, a French company newly arrived in Seattle and already supporting the FACCPNW.
