FSC Certified Forests in Canada

To receive an FSC forest management (FM) certification, an on-site audit and regular annual audit of the forest area must be conducted by one of FSC's independent certifiers. The forest management unit is certified against a set of FSC standards, which are based on FSC's Principles for responsible forest management.
