Sustainable Forestry Initiative I Logger Education I Visual Quality
				Healthy forests are needed not only by fish and wildlife, they are essential for the long term viability of the timber industry. In the Spring of 2000, Bennett Lumber Products enrolled to participate in the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program. The SFI program was developed by the American Forest and Paper Association to
				help interested organizations implement sustainable forestry and set forth measures by which customers, conservation groups or members of the public may monitor and evaluate the organization's commitment to its principles.

				In 2000, an independent multi-stakeholder Sustainable Forestry Board (SFB) was established with the full responsibility of managing the SFI program standard and certification procedures and SFI program compliance. As of January of 2007 all SFI program elements are being directed by a new fully independent non-profit organization, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, Inc. The new SFI is governed by an independent multi-stakeholder Board of Directors comprised of 15 members, two- thirds of whom are from outside interest groups such as environmental and conservation groups.
