Ecotrust Canada

Ecotrust Canada is an enterprising non-profit whose purpose is to build the conservation economy in coastal BC and beyond. We work at the intersection of conservation and community economic development promoting innovation and providing services for communities, First Nations and enterprises to green and grow their local economies. Becoming Forest Stewardship Council® certified has never been easier or more cost-effective thanks to the group certification service provided by Ecotrust Canada.

As a certified FSC® Group Manager, we have organized two FSC® certification groups which work to assist members with acquiring and maintaining FSC® certification, and provide expertise in market development. Through centralized administration and economies of scale, we are able to dramatically speed up the certification process and reduce associated costs for small- and medium-sized operators. Whether you run a woodlot, a private forestland, or a sawmill, or are a printer or value-added wood manufacturer, we can help you on the road towards branding your products as FSC® certified and, ultimately, help to protect our forests for future generations.
