Penobscot Environmental Consulting, Inc.

 

Forest Certification & Chain-of-Custody

We support landowners and land managers who are already certified or who are seeking certification through our Forest Ecosystem Management services (see side-bar link). Our staff members have also served as lead auditors or audit team members on a variety of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) audits over the past decade.

Our FSC work is conducted in association with Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) and we collaborate with NSF-ISR on SFI audits. By collaborating with SCS and NSF-ISR we have also conducted numerous dual audits to both the FSC and SFI standards, which can be a cost-effective way for achieving certification to both systems.

We have worked on certification assessments of both public and private land and recent projects have taken place in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, Idaho, Ontario, and New Brunswick.

Working with SCS we also provide FSC chain-of-custody auditing services for logs and solid wood products. For those interested in certifying paper products, packaging, and related materials, we can put you in touch with the proper people at SCS.
