Welcome to the National Capital Society of American Foresters (NCSAF) Website
Originally a drive to remind folks to re-up their membership in SAF, our Phonathon has been reinvented in recent years to ask folks what SAF can do for them. SAF knows it's tough for so many Foresters right now, and wants to help out. There's no hard sell and no script, just an honest conversation. Some SAF members really look forward to our annual call and you'll love hearing their stories. Thanks to those who were able to make the Phone-a-thon night on April 25th. 150 calls were made! WOW! We'd love to call a few more people as part of our service to the National organization, so if you missed the Phone-a-thon the first time, you're in luck! May 21st, from 6-9 pm, we'll meet up in Bethesda and make some calls. We'd like 10 people to RSVP before we can declare it a "go" so please RSVP today if you can make it! pbrandler@fs.fed.us. RSVP deadline: May 17th. to volunteer contact Paula Randler Dinner will begin at 6 pm, we'll get a bit of instruction, and we'll make calls until 9 pm.

What is the National Capital SAF? The National Capital SAF is one of thirty-two State Societies that make up the national organization of the SAF. Our members generally live and work in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. However, there are two other State Societies located in our metropolitan area - the Appalachian Society in northern Virginia and the Allegheny Society in Maryland. We have over 300 members in the National Capital SAF. Members may join any state society they wish by paying the appropriate state society dues. Our NCSAF members serve in positions with Federal and local governments, forest industry and affiliated organizations, non-governmental conservation and environmental organizations, colleges and universities, and small businesses, including consulting foresters. In addition, some of our members are now retired.
