Tembec Certifies Gordon Cosens Boreal Forest

Canadian forest-products giant Tembec has completed FSC certification of its 5-million-acre (2 million ha) Gordon Cosens Boreal Forest in northeastern Ontario. This forest, certified by SmartWood, is now the largest North American forest operation to carry FSC certification. By 2005, Tembec intends to certify all 32 million acres (13 million ha) of forest land under its management—this represents more than a third of all FSC-certified land worldwide today!
