Forest management certifications play a key role in keeping our forests healthy. These voluntary standards add an additional level of assurance of responsible forest practices from a country with some of the strictest provincial and federal regulatory frameworks in the world. Use the map below to learn more about forest certification in Canada.

About This MapCertification data is constantly in flux. This map is a “snapshot in time” taken on the date shown. Changes to certification information take time to be communicated from the certification bodies to the standards, which is then reflected in this map via annual updates. Corrections to the information shown here are welcome and should be reported to the appropriate standard (CSA, FSC or SFI) for resolution.
There are three major certification standards used by forest companies operating in Canada
Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)
In most cases certification applies to an entire forest area held under an area-based tenure. However there can also be several volume-based tenures held by multiple companies within a particular forest area, in which case the proportion to which the certification applies may be less than the entire forest area ( See detailed tenure maps for proportions ).
