What is a member
The Royal Scottish Forestry Society was conceived as a membership organisation in 1854 and we are still constituted as a membership body today. This is your Society...

The RFSF provides a great platform to discuss forestry matters, share industry news and information as well as providing opportunities to learn and grow professionally.
Membership is the lifeblood of any Society, RSFS is no different; the Society is the sum of the contributions of its members. Over the past five years we have been working to reinvigorate our membership, improve participation and return to our educational roots. Over the next five years we aim to enhance our involvement in education in the sector.
