As part of the national Forest Management Standard revision process, FSC Canada has developed indicators for small-scale, low intensity, and community forests.
The scope of these indicators have not been finalized but this draft serves to open the door to stakeholders and Aboriginal communities for their input to ensure all indicators are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound.
The indicators within this draft have not been reviewed or approved by FSC Canada’s Standard Development Group (SDG). Based on input received, a second draft of the SIR indicators will be released in concert with Draft 2 of FSC Canada’s National Forest Management Standard and these will be reviewed entirely by the SDG.
FSC Canada invites all those interested in reviewing the draft indicators to provide comments by September 5, 2016 using the comment form below.
A new information series to help you walk through proposed changes and updates to the draft national forest management standard.
FSC relies upon an engaged community of stakeholders to review and comment on drafts as a key component in the development of a workable national forest management standard.
In approaching draft 2 of the national forest management standard, FSC Canada has put together ‘FSC Forest Talk, ‘an information series to help walk through proposed changes and updates. FSC Forest Talk is scheduled to run from now until fall 2016.
The first FSC Forest Talk provides and overview of new indicators and definitions for small-scale, low intensity, and community forests in FSC Canada’s national forest management standard.
