Almquist Lumber is certified for chain of custody by the Forest Stewardship Council through The Rainforest Alliance's SmartWood program. Almquist Lumber markets both certified and noncertified wood products. Wood products certified by SmartWood are recognized as coming from "well-managed" forests adhering to strict environmental and socioeconomic standards in accordance with the Principles and Criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
What is the Forest Stewardship Council?
The Forest Stewardship Council
is an independent organization working to uphold responsible
stewardship of the world's forests. At Almquist Lumber we
wholeheartedly support this goal, and we are members of The Healthy
Forests, Healthy Communities Partnership. We have been inspected by a
representative of this regional program of Sustainable Northwest, and
have met the criteria for FSC certification.
