Michigan's forest products industry community is committed to leading the way on sustainable forestry through programs such as Sustainable Forestry Education (SFE) – Michigan SFI's logger education program and Michigan’s Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The benefits of logger education are numerous, and you can read about them in SFI_LoggerTraining_Value_Principles.pdf

The SFE program enhances the ability of SFI-certified wood purchasing companies to demonstrate that they are complying with sustainable harvesting and land management practices, and all logging firms working for these certified companies must undergo SFE training. The SFE program is critically important to gaining public support for forest management and timber harvesting and enhancing the industry's credibility.
