Program to Receive International Standard-Setters Award

We received word this week that the NSLFFPA FSC® program will receive a Rainforest Alliance 'Sustainable Standard-Setter' award. This presitigious international award is to "... recognize the outstanding achievements made by individuals and companies in the areas of sustainable agriculture, forestry and tourism." The announcement noted that the award was based on the Associations “vision to make sustainability a priority and the dynamism to make it a reality. Its continued success protecting both the environment and the interests of woodlot owners has made the NSLFFPA a sterling example to the industry”.
The award will be presented at a ceremony in New York this coming May. Congratulations to everyone on this significant recognition. It is our common comittment to better forests and communities that will be spotlighted on this international stage.
