There are a few other policies that certificate holders must adhere to, but the FSC US Forest Management Standard will represent a majority of requirements for FSC certification. In order to attain certification, the owner, manager, or overseer of a forested area can contract with a Certified Body that is certified with the FSC, or a Forest Management Group. The forest is then audited to meet all FSC standards. Receiving our certification was very important to us, as we are determined to make our contributions to the world as positive as possible. Our certification means that we are always managing our natural resources as safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly as possible.
