The
Sustainable Forestry Initiative program is a voluntary,
industry-driven effort developed to ensure that future
generations will have the same abundant, healthy, and
productive resources we enjoy today. Created in 1995 by
the American Forest and Paper Association (the national
trade organization representing the United States forest
products industry), SFI is a program of
comprehensive forestry and conservation practices.
Through the SFI of PA program, landowners receive
the information they need to enhance their ability to
make good forest management decisions. Loggers learn
safer, more productive skills and proper environmental
practices. The forest industry as a whole becomes better
understood by the public and enjoys continued
accessibility to the timber resource -- and everyone
benefits from the perpetuation of a healthy forest and
the wealth of life enriching products derived from
it.
