The Gordon Cosens was one of the first forests in Canada to achieve FSC certification where 4.5 million trees will be planted this spring.
President and Chief Executive Officer, James Lopez, recognized that "very few forests in Canada can lay claim to having planted 300 million trees. This is a truly significant achievement - one which deserves to be celebrated. We are very fortunate to have a long history of sustainable forestry going back many decades and involving some of the pioneers of sustainable forestry in Canada. The Gordon Cosens was one of the first forests in Canada to achieve FSC certification."
Tembec is the first forest product company in Canada to make a company-wide commitment to seek FSC certification on all of their forest management units and currently manages over 8 million hectares of FSC-certified land.
