FSC Canada is currently undergoing the process to revise and align our Forest Management Standards (National Boreal Standard (2004), Maritimes Standard (2008), BC Standard (2005) and Great Lakes-St. Lawrence draft Standard (2010)) with the revised Principles and Criteria and the International Generic Indicators.
In carrying out this important work, FSC Canada is seeking technical experts to assist with the development of the Canadian Forest Management (FM) Standard in five key thematic areas.
There will be voluntary Technical Expert Panels which will provide technical guidance and recommendations to FSC Canada to be considered when developing normative measures (e.g. indicators and supplementary materials where needed).
FSC Canada is seeking voluntary participants for the following Technical Expert Panels (TEPs):
- Principle 6, 9 and 10 (from the new Principles & Criteria - v.5): Ecological & Operational Consideration:
- Principle 3: Aboriginal Rights, including Free, Prior and Informed Consent
- Community and Stakeholder Rights (legal and customary)
- Scale, Intensity and Risk (SIR), including Small and Low Intensity Managed Forests (SLIMF)
- Pesticides, Conversion and Invasive Species
