Forest Certifications

Forest Carbon Works members planning to harvest first obtain Forest Stewardship CouncilⓇ (FSCⓇ) (FSCⓇ C180518) certification. Members not planning to harvest do not require certification. FSCⓇ certification signals to the market that harvest activities within our program adhere to rigorous stewardship and sustainability criteria which helps ensure we can pay members premium prices. The resources on this page highlight the criteria to which harvests must adhere. Forest Carbon Works covers all certification costs for members and ensures harvests are compliant.
