Forestline has officially gone electronic, as part of a multitude of changes the AFPA has recently undertaken. With the introduction of any new service there are often hiccups along the way. While we have worked diligently to minimize them, we also recognize that some may still creep through. Your feedback will help us to improve this communications source in future issues. The colours may change, the text styles too, but what won't change is our dedication to informing you.

If there are others that you think might be interested in this publication, please forward it on to them. You can do this by clicking on the "send to a friend" link. Your friend can then subscribe by using the online subscription link on the right side of the newsletter.
