The Sustainable Forest Management Expert Forum is the chance for you to comment on and discuss the specific issues around the PEFC SFM Standard (PEFC ST 1003:2010) and its revision.

It will feature a moderated discussion forum to gather first-hand information, as well as advice on specific topics, such non-wood forest products. The Forum will also provide an open forum to enable participants to discuss any issues that they are interested in.

The Expert Forum will accompany the work of the Working Group and run until the approval of the final standard, anticipated for November 2017.
