Introduction to Forest Certficiation

Forest Certification: An Introduction for Forest Landowners was a multiagency educational event for landowners, natural resource professionals and others interested in finding out the latest information on forest certification. Certification of forest practices and products is an international phenomenon that involves the U.S. forestry community and general consumer. There are currently numerous certification programs, and although certification of land and forest products is not a currently a requirement, there remains a lot of confusion. The Cooperative Extension Service--Southern Region in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service, Southern Group of State Foresters and others sponsored this live event to provide factual information and educational insight on this major natural resource issue. We have video, slides, and speakers' notes for this event.
