Our projects
Enhancing rural development in Spain through certified wild food products
Non-wood forest products
Moving certification beyond wood based products to include all products originating in forests is vital. Following on from our project focused on mushrooms, we supported the development of wild food products from certified Spanish forests.
Exploring pathways to deliver sustainable woody biomass
Innovation
Woody biomass from North America is an increasingly important renewable energy in Europe, but it must be produced sustainably. This project looked to improve the communication and coordination between the relevant stakeholders in Europe and the USA.
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.
Protecting rare tree species in Malaysia
Research
Conservation of biodiversity and rare species is integral to sustainable forest management. This project supported the development of monitoring and conservation procedures for endangered species in Peninsular Malaysia.
Promoting forest certification to the forest managers of the future
Innovation
Forestry students are the future of forest management. Through this project, we provided forest certification training to the students and teachers of forestry and wood schools in Slovakia.
