The Sustainable Forestry Initiative^® (SFI^®) has been working to make a positive difference in Michigan's forests since 1995. The SFI program in Michigan works to support responsible forest practices, wood procurement and harvesting throughout Michigan.


Collectively, SFI Inc. and SFI Program Participants:

- Train thousands of loggers and foresters

- Provide forestry information and support to family forest owners

- Apply SFI principles on more than five million of acres of SFI Program Participant lands in Michigan

- Use responsible wood procurement practices that conform to the SFI standards

- Provide assurance to customers and consumers that the forest and paper products they purchase, are from sustainably managed forests
