Business Member Benefits
Whether you are a recent Business Member or it has been a few years since you’ve been involved, we are fortunate to be a part of a community that values so highly the Anacortes Community Forest Lands (ACFL). Our education and stewardship programs are funded through a variety of local community sources that collectively support our mission of providing forest education in the ACFL. Local businesses are an integral part of this community and have long sponsored Friends and the work we do.
