IFO Press Release There has been a mixed response from members of Irish Forest Owners to the announcement of a €5,000 per hectare package for
Dual FSC® and PEFC certification in Forest Management for forest owners
Irish Forest Owners is offering dual FSC® and PEFC certification in Forest Management to forest owners in the Irish Forest Owners producer group network in the Republic of Ireland.
Forest Certification is a system that verifies forests are managed to the highest international social, economic and environmental standards, leading to a certificate issued by a recognised independent party.
Two international Certification Schemes operate in Ireland at present:
A number of forest owners join together and make a single Forest Certification application, taking advantage of economies of scale and the opportunity to build knowledge.
Group certification is a more affordable scheme to achieve internationally recognised standards in Forest Management. Certification provides access to wider markets and a premium price for certified timber may be negotiated. Forest management certification may also be beneficial for verifying forests for future payments for carbon sequestration and ecosystem service payment.
Produces a Forest Management Plan of certification standard at the request of the forest owner
Holds the group certification and represents the group members during the period of validity of the certificate
Further detail on group certification in Ireland is available at www.groupcertification.ie, where a full forest management manual is available for download (https://www.groupcertification.ie/resources/forest-management-manual).
