Sustainable Forest Management Plan

“Third-party forest management certification complements Canada’s comprehensive and rigorous forest management laws and regulations. It provides added assurance that a forest company is operating legally, sustainably and in compliance with world-recognized standards for sustainable forest management.”

Sustainable Forest Management Committee

The Sustainable Forest Management Committee (SFMC) has been established to serve as the Public Advisory Committee for the CSA-SFM certification and as the Forest Resource Advisory Committee as outlined in the Forest Management License Agreement. It is an ongoing forum where representatives from across the FMLA can share knowledge, interests, views, values and concerns with respect to forest management activities. This forum is intended to allow for open, fair and orderly discussion on these matters. The SFMC includes representatives from a broad cross-section of stakeholders across the FMLA.

Currently the committee meets several times per year. Membership is open to Indigenous Peoples, communities, general public and organizations.

For more information or to join the committee contact Jeanne Besaw at (204) 623-8453 or Jeanne.Besaw@niso.ca.
