From the sweeping stands of Kaingaroa Forest, where the iconic kārearea soars through the canopy, to the responsibly sourced timber shaping the homes and buildings of tomorrow, FSC’s influence can be seen across Aotearoa New Zealand’s wood-based economy. FSC-certified materials help connect people with the importance of responsible forest management, while highlighting the relationship between forests and the communities and wildlife that depend on them, both here in Aotearoa and around the world. Through these connections, the FSC system weaves together forests, products, and people across the country.
This International Day of Forests, we take a closer look at FSC in action across Aotearoa New Zealand, through the voices of the people and organisations helping bring responsible forest management, trusted supply chains and forest stewardship to life every day.
Where FSC comes to life
Across Aotearoa New Zealand, forest managers, manufacturers, organisations and educators all play a role in making responsible forestry a reality.
Together, they show what FSC looks like in action, protecting biodiversity, supporting sustainable supply chains, and helping to ensure forests continue to provide for generations to come.
This International Day of Forests, we celebrate the people and organisations behind that work.
