We just launched our 2012 RFP for the SFI Conservation and Community Partnerships Grant Program, which supports research and outreach to advance responsible forestry.

Architects and builders can learn more about the benefits of using certified wood in green building thanks to a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) sponsored by SFI.

When I joined SFI Inc. last month, I knew I would have a chance to work with many partners who share my interest in sustainable forest management and third-party forest certification.

Maine has always been a leader when it comes to third-party forest certification.

I’m so proud of the SFI community’s accomplishments and our shared commitment to responsible forest management.

British Columbia has more than 130 million acres/53 million hectares of certified forests – over 40 percent of them certified to the SFI 2010-2014 Standard.

I sometimes think the debate about LEED’s unfair treatment of certified wood is so wrapped up in politics it misses the most important point – wood from responsible sources is a great choice for green building.

Larry Selzer covered a lot of ground in his keynote address at the SFI annual conference. It was clearly well received, and was one of the highlights of the event.

There’s a lot to like about SFI annual conferences. They bring together the SFI community so we can share ideas and explore future opportunities with experts
