Sierra Club appeals Irving Allagash Woodlands Green Certification.
Green certification is just one tool for forest protection.
The Sierra Club supports both Question 2 and FSC certification. The Sierra Club has initiated the FSC appeal process based on concerns about Irving s labor practices, the rate of cut exceeding the rate of growth, unwarranted clearcutting, and the use of herbicides. The Sierra Club is a founding member and long-term supporter of the Forest Stewardship Council and supports the organization s efforts to offer consumers the opportunity to purchase wood products that meet certain minimal forest practices standards.
