The revision of the CAN/CSA Z809-16 Sustainable Forest Management standard is now complete and the standard has once again been accepted as a National Standard by the Standards Council of Canada.
“This is great news” said John Dunford, chair of PEFC Canada. “Forest companies in Canada are excited to begin their transition to the revised standard, one that sees a new Criterion for Aboriginal Relations and one that retains the demanding requirements of public participation in developing and maintaining performance measures for sustainable forest management."
