FSC is hosting a free workshop to share resources to help family and community forest managers achieve greater value from FSC certification. \nWith a focus on existing tools and needs for additional support\, the workshop will offer practical ways to improve the opportunities FSC offers to community and family woodlands. Whether you’re a group manager\, consulting forester\, forest owner or forest manager\, FSC encourages you to participate in this free in-person workshop. \nThe event will also offer a good opportunity to connect with peers about shared challenges facing small\, low-intensity managed forests. \nForests meeting one or more of the following criteria are eligible for the resources and tools that will be introduced in the workshop: \n\nForests smaller than 2\,471 acres (1\,000 hectares; any ownership)\nThe rate of harvesting is less than 20% of the mean annual increment (MAI) and EITHER a) the annual harvest is less than 1379.5 cords; OR b) the average annual harvest is less than 1379.5 cords/year during a 5-year cycle (any ownership)\nOnly non-timber forest products are collected or harvested (any ownership)\nBoth: a) the legal right to manage the forest is held at communal level; AND b) the members of the community actively manage the forest or have authorized someone else to manage it\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Amy Clark Eagle (a.eagle@us.fsc.org)
