Our projects
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.
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

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.
