Provenance
The donor worked as a BC Forest Ranger and these are his personal badges and materials from his career that spanned the 1960s until reorganization in 1983. He has given us a two hour interview to go with the material.

MacMillan Bloedel Limited, sometimes referred to as "MacBlo", was a Canadian forestry company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was formed through the merger of three smaller forestry companies in 1951 and 1959. Those were the Powell River Company, the Bloedel Stewart Welch Company, and the H.R. MacMillan Company. It was bought by Weyerhaeuser of Federal Way, Washington in 1999.
