The Forest Certification Handbook

* Fully revised and updated from the landmark first edition, covering all aspects of policy, business and hands-on technical issues First published in 1995, The Forest Certification Handbook has become the landmark book concerning all aspects of forest and wood product certification from policy to business to in-the-field technical issues. Yet since first publication an enormous amount has happened in the field. This new second edition has been entirely rewritten to incorporate the changes over the past decade and to provide a complete and up-to-date source of information on all aspects of developing, selecting and operating forest certification programs that provide both market security and raise standards of forest management.
