MISSION, BC—Mission Municipal Forest has recently achieved third-party forest certification under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), SFI Indigenous Peoples and Families Module. ‘We are extremely pleased to be certified under the SFI system – this gives both our citizens and timber buyers confidence that we are managing the Mission Municipal Forest in a sustainable fashion. The City of Mission is committed to continually improving how we manage forests around the community, and we are working on implementing a number of new, progressive initiatives over the next few years with this in mind,” said Chris Gruenwald, Director of Forestry. …The SFI Indigenous Peoples and Families Module was created for small-scale forest licences, managed by Indigenous Peoples, Communities, and Families. Management under this standard is based on 13 principles.
