New sustainable forestry management standard
New sustainable forestry management standard
A new standard provides forest owners and managers with environmental, economic, social, and cultural criteria that support the sustainable management of forests.
NZS AS 4708:2014 – Sustainable forest
management is a voluntary standard that may be applied
to any forests being managed for the production of forest
products and forest services, whether native or planted
forests. It can be used by forest managers who are seeking
independent, accredited third party certification of their
forest management system and practices. Certification to the
standard is a response to market demands that forest
products and forest services come from well managed
forests.
NZS AS 4708:2014 is an adoption of an Australian standard AS 4708:2013, with modifications to reflect New Zealand conditions.
NZS AS 4708:2014 can be purchased from Standards New Zealand www.standards.co.nz
