The Pacific Northwest Forest Service Assoc. had its origins in 1945
when the 30-Year Club was started in Portland. 

We're a 501(c)(3) organization of 840+ strong

We stay in contact with colleagues & friends made during our Forest Service careers.

Through grants, we help improve resources on National Forests
and provide educational opportunities about those resources... More information

When disaster hits, we help Forest Service employees
or retirees & families recover financially... More information

We offer scholarships to students for college or trade schools... More information

 In the Fall Newsletter learn about implementing the Wildfire Crisis Strategy in R6 and how it looks on the ground, meet the 2023 Old Smokey scholarship recipients, welcome four new Old Smokeys, read frontline and personal reflections from Karen Shimamoto  and Kurt Wiedenmann, learn about changes to the newsletter, and much more.

      We stay up to date on National Forest management and issues as well as Pacific Northwest Research accomplishments.

We gather for lunch the last Friday of most months at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Portland, OR, and each year at a banquet in May and a picnic in August.
