For over 50 years, our family has proven a desire for a sustainable forestry in Nova Scotia.
Forest certification is a voluntary tool used to demonstrate sustainable and social responsibility.
The main component of forest certification includes the evaluation of forest management practices that meet provincial, national and international standards that reflect modern sustainability concepts.
The evaluation is completed by an independent third party audit conducted by a qualified certification body.
Auditors evaluate performance by conducting on-site visits to check active operations, discussing management principles with staff and interviewing stakeholders.
Performance based approach certification systems include standards such as Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiatives (SFI).
