Just ask for FSC!
Written by Theresa Brigleb on Thursday, December 13, 2007
The FSC logo is your guide to the ‘good wood’. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an internationally recognized group that can tell you whether the wood you’re holding makes the grade. The FSC stamp means that the forest is managed according to strict environmental, social and economic standards. The group was founded in 1993 by a coalition of environmentalists, native peoples and forestry professionals. Worldwide, nearly 100 million acres of forestland in 57 countries have already secured FSC approval. And that includes over a million and a half acres in California, Oregon and Washington.
Landowners are seeing the benefits of going with FSC, and retailers are getting on board. You’re the last link in the chain. Please visit one of the fine partners in Portland to purchase wood with the FSC logo:
