Our logo was designed to
represent the new association.
The two rows of coniferous trees signify the joining of the two former colleges into one association, the formation of a network, and community of practice. Outlining the overall shape forms a leaf, a nod to the deciduous trees found throughout the province’s forests. The angle of the leaf and the upward line through it indicate growth, and a long-term plan for Alberta’s forests as AAFMP progresses forward. This line is also suggestive of a graphical feature often used by forest management professionals to display scientific data. The darker green font colour roots us in the fertile ground that our new association is planted on.
About AAFMP
July 1, 2019, the College of Alberta Professional Foresters (CAPF) and the College of Alberta Professional Forest Technologists (CAPFT) merged to become the Association of Alberta Forest Management Professionals (AAFMP).
AAFMP is the provincial regulatory body for Alberta’s forest management professionals. We support the continual development and ethical practice of registrants so that all Albertans can benefit from healthy, sustainable forests.

Complaints on Professional Conduct
A forest management professional is an individual who has specialized education, an appetite for lifelong learning and personal development and upholds ethical standards. They are obligated to meet a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.
In the interest of protecting and serving the public interest, section 44 of the Regulated Forest Management Profession Act (the Act) gives the Association of Alberta Forest Management Professionals (AAFMP) the authority to discipline forest management professionals that are regulated registrants of the Association.
