Group Forest Management Scheme for Forest Owners and Managers

Reliance Forest Fibre provides the opportunity for individual forest owners and managers to have their forest certified under RFF’s group certification scheme.

The group scheme is certified to AS4708 the Australian Standard for Sustainable Forest Management. The combined forest resource of group members forms the group “defined forest area” (DFA) for certification purposes. All wood produced from the DFA can be sold as certified wood.

Individuals can join the scheme subject to meeting requirements established by RFF. Forest owners and managers interested in participating in RFF’s Group Certification Scheme should contact Reliance Forest Fibre.
