The Forest Stewardship Council has launched the Ecosystem Services Procedure (FSC-PRO-30-006), which aims to create incentives for the preservation of valuable ecosystem services in responsibly managed forests - a world-first in forest certification.

Alberta-Pacific Forest Industries Inc. (Al-Pac) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) are pleased to welcome the creation and expansion of five wildland provincial parks in northeast Alberta. This is the largest addition to the Alberta Parks system in its history, and collectively creates the largest contiguous protected boreal forest in the world.

Learn more about how drones are being used at FSC-certified mills.
