‘‘This marks a new and important chapter in SFI’s mission to advance sustainability through forest-focused collaboration. Finally, a standard exists for urban and community forests, and we have an opportunity to make a difference for millions of people across North America, and potentially globally. I’m so proud to be at the @ISArboriculture ISA 2023 Annual Conference to celebrate the new SFI Urban and Community Forest Sustainability Standard and thank all our partners for their contributions to get us to this point,” said @KathyAbusow, President and CEO, SFI.

@sfiprogram stands ready to collaborate with @JonathanWNV@NRCan and @eccc to leverage #Budget2023 funding to promote the recovery of species at risk across 100 million hectares of forest land certified to SFI in Canada.
Alongside our partners in the forest sector, resource professionals, local communities and governments, Indigenous governments and communities, @sfiprogram and @PLT_Canada is eager to hear @JonathanWNV’s plan to renew and update forest sector programs highlighted in #Budget2023
It is important that @CQualtro works with forest sector green jobs leaders like @PLT_Canada to maximize funding for youth green jobs. We have an amazing @sfiprogram network that has placed thousands of youth including over 1000 Indigenous youth from over 100 communities!
With today’s release of the budget @cafreeland, @sfiprogram and @PLT_Canada are pleased to see the commitment to the Student Work Placement Program to help ensure that Canadian youth are given the opportunity to gain on-the-job training for the jobs of the future!
Feeling spirited this morning.
Many Indigenous leaders have been relentless in our messages to Canada. We are not going away.
Just a reminder, we are Canada's competitive edge.
Forestry jobs are green jobs. Trees absorb greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and sequester the carbon in the wood, bark, roots, leaves and branches. Once harvested, that carbon remains stored throughout the wood product's lifespan. #workingforests#forestryjobs#forestrylife
