For your building projects, buy wood harvested from sustainably managed forests by choosing FSC and SFI certified materials.
When shopping for wood for building and projects, look for the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certification labels. When you see these labels, you can be confident that the wood was harvested from sustainably managed forests.
SFI promotes responsible forest management in the US and Canada while the FSC operates worldwide. The certifications offered by FSC ensure that forests harvested for wood are “being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability.” SFI certification requirements “include measures to help protect water quality, biodiversity, wildlife habitat, species at risk and forests with exceptional conservation value.”
