Our projects
Promoting sustainable forest management among Latvian forest owners
Smallholders
Latvia's fragmented property structure meant private forest certification was a challenge. Thanks to this project, private forest owners in Latvia have achieved PEFC certification.
Developing tools to support small-forest owners achieve certification
Innovation
Forest certification can be a burden for many small- and family forest owners. By developing an online group registration and management system, this project sought to make their lives a little easier.
Fostering partnerships to promote PEFC certification in Hungary
Smallholders
Hungary was one of the few remaining European countries with a significant share of private forest owners, but without a national forest certification system. Our Collaboration Fund project helped to change this.
Mushroom traceability: from the forest to the plate
Non-wood forest products
As consumers become increasingly distant from the origins of their food, this project brought them closer together: tracing the journey mushrooms take from the forest to the plate, telling their story along the way.
PEFC-certified cork campaign
Non-wood forest products
If managed appropriately, cork production is sustainable. This project promoted cork certification at both ends of the supply chain: creating demand and encouraging sustainable production.
