The Voice of Forestry Contractors - An Open Invitation to Join

A MESSAGE FROM PRUE YOUNGER, CEO, FICA

We know working in the forestry industry can have its ups and downs, and the last couple of years have been particularly challenging for the industry.

FICA (Forest Industry Contractors Association) is the voice of forestry contractors, providing support and advocating on behalf of our members who are vital link in the forestry supply chain. We have approximately 240 member companies have signed up to FICA consistently which represents around 70% of the national total harvest. Here’s what some of our members say: “FICA is doing a fabulous job…they know issues that we have and ensure they are shared. There is strength in numbers, so collaboration is critical” “We have confidence FICA will speak for us in industry discussions.” “It’s a safe place to ask for help and to share frustrations. It’s a voice to the forest companies/ managers and government that we don’t have to deal directly with them and FICA can mediate for us on our behalf.” “We have found the FICA membership very beneficial with receiving regular current information for the industry, safety alerts, upcoming workshops, new initiatives and more! We believe FICA is doing awesome work in making logging a more professional industry and advocating for logging contractors.” It would be great to have the opportunity to show you more about what FICA can do for you.
