Exceeding Expectations
Responsible Forestry
The Teal-Jones Group is committed to sustainable management of the resources under their stewardship in a scientifically credible and environmentally, economically, and socially responsible manner.
Teal-Jones’ forestry operations voluntarily meet Canada’s leading national standard for sustainable forest management. PEFC Canada now has ownership of the technical content of the withdrawn Canadian Forest Management Standard CSA Z809-16 formerly owned and administered by the Canadian Standards Group (CSA). As of May 2023, work is underway with the PEFC Canada Technical Committee to develop a new standard, based off the withdrawn CSA Z809-16 standard, with a goal to release the PEFC International endorsed standard in 2024. For the purposes of the 2022 Sustainable Management Plan, Teal will continue to reference the CSA Z809-16 Standard. Teal-Jones’ wood products are certified under the Program for Endorsement of Forest Certification Chain of Custody System. These standards provide for independent third-party verification, assuring the public of sustainable forest management planning and practices based upon benchmarks derived from internationally-recognized, ongoing and long term, intergovernmental processes and guidelines. Teal-Jones is always interested to hear from you; if you have any questions or concerns about Sustainable Forest Management, please contact us.
