FSC Certified Lumber
Designing & Building with FSC Certified Lumber Manual
The Forest Stewardship Council was created to change the dialogue about and the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide. This impressive goal has in many ways been achieved, yet there is more work to be done.
FSC sets forth principles, criteria, and standards that span economic, social, and environmental concerns. The FSC standards represent the world's strongest system for guiding forest management toward sustainable outcomes.
The FSC-US, in partnership with Forest Product Solutions, developed this Guide to offer architects, specifiers, and building professionals a single source to learn about, specify, build and account for the use of FSC-certified products.
