Sustainable ecosystems and communities are the cornerstones of a responsible forest management.

Our comprehensive forestry management planning practices are designed to meet and surpass certified sustainable forest management practices as well as rigorous provincial government regulations. Government and independent forest certification auditors review our activities to make sure that we achieve the high standards of our planning documents.

Across the many jurisdictions in which we operate, West Fraser meets and exceeds the industry-leading certification standards that match the various forest regions. The consumers of our products also recognize these high standards in the markets where our products are sold.
