The timber we process is FSC® certified. Here is what that means, and how to make sure the right paperwork comes with your order.
What is FSC®?
The Forest Stewardship Council® is an independent, international organization that sets standards for responsible forest management. Forests are certified after audits by accredited, independent certification bodies, and are audited again regularly to keep their certification.
Why it matters to buyers
More and more builders, distributors and retailers ask for certified wood, whether for their own purchasing policies, for customer requirements or for building programs that recognize certified products. Certification lets them show where the wood came from.
Our timber
Our timber comes from about 476,000 m³ of conifer a year, harvested under four long-term Sustainable Forest Licences in Northern Ontario, the largest being the Hearst Forest. You can read more on our Sustainability page.
Ordering FSC® certified lumber
If your order needs FSC® documentation, say so in your quote request (there’s a field for it under “Other details”). Our certificate is available on the Certifications page.
