Family forest owners care for their woodlands because they appreciate the fragrance of a cedar lowland, the song of a warbler heralding spring, the rumble of trucks heavily laden with oak, cypress, and pine. This deep connection with the land fosters a commitment to sustainability — and the effort required to pass it on to the next generation. One significant element in supporting your growing legacy is the process of certification. Here we explore the philosophy and standards of certification — and how it supports all the different values you pursue.
