Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standard (SFIS 2005-2009)
The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program is a comprehensive system of principles, objectives and performance measures developed by professional foresters, conservationists and scientists, among others that combines the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the long-term protection of wildlife, plants, soil and water quality. The SFI Standard spells out the requirements of compliance with the program. The SFIS is based on nine principles that address economic, environmental, cultural and legal issues, in addition to a commitment to continuously improve sustainable forest management. The Sustainable Forestry Board solely governs the content of the SFI Standard and Auditing Procedures and Qualifications.
The following SFMP applies to only those forest management operations conducted by the Cariboo-Chilcotin Business Area and our licensees, permittees and contractors (LPC) in the Central Cariboo, Chilcotin and Quesnel Forest Districts including all planning and operational activities. Details about the Cariboo-Chilcotin Business Area SFMP and SFI certification are available at the following links.
