Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)

 

Hogan Hardwoods & Moulding has completed the certification process with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as a chain of custody supplier for environmentally responsible hardwoods products.  The FSC is an independant, non-profit organization that supports environmentally sound, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forest.

Wood that carries FSC certification comes from a forest operation that:

Developed a plan to ensure good, long-term forest management.

Minimized the damage done to the remaining forest during harvesting.

Protected habitat for fish and wildlife.

Prevented over-cutting.

Planned for regenerating the forest naturally.

Look for and buy wood products with the FSC "checkmark and tree" logo.  It's your assurance that the product you are buying comes from a well-managed forest.

Certified hardwood species are available as lumber, plywood, veneer, mouldings (sanded, primed and prefinished) and flooring.
