Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Z809-02
The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has established a set of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) standards adapted from the six Canadian SFM criteria originally established by the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers. The six criteria outline the environmental, social and economic values to be managed for all forests. The performance criteria are set for each Defined Forest Area (DFA) through a detailed public consultation process and locally based indicators of these values. Applicants seeking to certify a DFA must undergo an independent third-party audit of the management system and field inspections to confirm the attainment of performance objectives. The certification verifies that a specified DFA is being managed sustainably at a local level.
In the BC Timber Sales Stuart-Nechako Business Area, the Vanderhoof field team, in conjunction with other major licensee partners, have prepared a Sustainable Forest Management Plan pertinent to their respective DFA.
