Membership Makes a Difference

Help support the Copeland Forest Friends Association (CFFA), by becoming a member. Membership fees help cover the operating costs of the CFFA and a portion of the environmental and stewardship programs of the Association.  Other sources of revenue are needed to fully finance the environmental work and to fund special projects. In addition to your membership, you can assist CFFA by making a charitable donation to support our work. All donations over $20 will receive a charitable tax receipt. Annual membership runs from January 1 to December 31.

The Association needs your membership to provide a base for ongoing activities. Your support is crucial to our success.

Role of Members:

As an individual member or the family member representative, you will select one of 8 user groups as your primary user group. The 8 user groups are Anglers & Hunters, Business, Hikers, Horse Riders, Mountain Bikers, Naturalists, Residents, and Snow Sports.

You will then be eligible to vote at all meetings of the Association. You will also be eligible to stand for election.

Members have the opportunity to participate in all Association meetings, committees, and activities. Activities and events sponsored by CFFA for which there is a fee may be reduced for members. 

Friends will receive association updates and notice of annual meetings, activities, and events. 

Please fill out the online form below and process your payment through our secure PayPal portal or by Interac eTransfer.  If you elect to etransfer your membership payment please send to treasurer.cffa@gmail.com and include in the message field the name of the person(s) applying for membership.
