For The Love of Forests.
Since 1999, the BC Interior Forestry Museum has been the destination for all things forestry: past, present, and future.
Our location, nestled between the Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges and along the Columbia River, is part of an important ecological region known for the world’s largest inland temperate rainforest.
We work to record, preserve, restore and display artifacts and collections of historical, archaeological, artistic, educational, and scientific material as it pertains to the forestry industry of British Columbia. The museum operates as a non-profit society and encourages historical research to stimulate public interest in the history of forestry.
Our collection of logging equipment enhances a visual understanding of British Columbia’s forestry industry; of loggers, entrepreneurs, and mechanical innovation.
The museum presents the social and economic realities of the province’s settlement through the framework of the forest industry. The substance of the museum experience is a threefold drama, between the hardships of logging, the importance of timber harvesting to British Columbia’s economy and the necessity of reforestation.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
