[CANUFNET] SFI Webinar on Urban-Forest Certification

[Philip van Wassenaer]

Thanks Peter,

 

While this is interesting it seems to me that certification of the UF should
be a federal initiative and not a third party initiative. Does this group
have the knowledge base of the intricacies of the UF and its management? It
is a completely different animal than a traditional natural or managed
forest.

 

I will look forward to the webinar, thanks for letting us know.

 

Philip

Urban-Forest Colleagues:

 

Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Inc., an organization specializing in
third-party forest certification, is considering whether there is merit in
developing a certification standard for urban forests. SFI has established a
Task Group for this consideration. Kathryn Fernholz of Dovetail Partners and
I are co-chairing the Task Group.

 

As part of SFI's series of webinars associated with revisions to its main
forest-management standard, there will be a webinar about certification for
urban forests on 09 June at 13:00 Eastern Time Zone
(https://www.sfiprogram.org/standard-revision-process-workshops/, and
https://forests.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1kqrcjixRY6zRvuihok3Rw). I
encourage you to sign up and find out what's going on.

 

Cheers, Peter Duinker
