You’re invited to the AFA’s 2020 Year-End Update & Fundraiser!

Nov 23 2020/in Announcements

We’re hosting our annual year-end event and fundraiser on Thursday, December 3rd, from 7-8 pm – this time on Zoom! Join us to learn what we’ve been up to this past year and what’s next for BC’s old-growth forests. Plus, you could win some fun prizes!

With new scientific evidence on the dire state of BC’s old-growth forests and the NDP’s election promise to implement all of the independent Old Growth Strategic Review panel’s recommendations, 2020 has been an eventful year for the ancient forest campaign.

Tune in to hear more about these and other developments, learn what AFA is doing to make immediate old-growth protection a top priority for the NDP government, and celebrate all we’ve achieved together this past year.

The evening will feature a slideshow presentation from AFA campaigners TJ Watt and Andrea Inness, a Q&A session on all things old-growth, and a chance to connect with the AFA team.

You’ll also find out how you can support our campaigns, including by purchasing some great AFA gear (which make excellent holiday gifts!)

Event schedule:

7:00pm presentation followed by Q&A

Tickets: By donation. Register here

A Zoom link to join the webinar will be sent in your confirmation email.

Proceeds from the event will go towards AFA’s campaign to protect BC’s endangered old-growth forests and ensure a sustainable, second-growth forest industry.

Thank you to our generous business supporters!
