Coral Forbes

Donor Relations and Administrative Associate

Coral fell in love with big trees after visiting the Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park when she was just out of High School and immediately decided that she wanted to be a “professional tree hugger” when she grew up. By joining the Ancient Forest Alliance Team as an Administrative and Development Assistant in 2021, she feels like she has finally reached this goal!

With a Technical Diploma in Environmental Chemistry and a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Environmental Studies, Coral has dedicated her life to preserving the natural world in a variety of educational institutions and government departments. But she prefers the non-profit sector because of the amazing folks accomplishing so much in a short time with relatively little funds.

As a Program Naturalist at a nature sanctuary for over a decade, Coral inspired a new generation of environmental stewards by sharing her love of nature. She looks forward to continuing this work by supporting the Campaigners and chatting with donors. When not working from home on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen peoples, Coral may be found exploring forests near and far with her family.
