GOAL
Promote the use of internationally recognized sustainable forest management certification standards in Canada. Third-party certification is the best way to indicate to all stakeholders that we are making positive changes to the way we harvest wood and care for the forests in a way which makes the industry both viable and sustainable.
Certification means verifying that practices are being carried out in a way that meets accepted environmental, social and economic criteria for responsible forestry. The standards for good forest management practices are reviewed regularly and evolve with changing expectations about what sustainable forest management entails.
Reports and graphs detailing the certification of forest management practices in Canada, and Canadian certification in the global context, are found here
Forests in Canada where the forest management practices are certified are mapped, and links to further information about the certificates provided.
