P\u00f5lvamaa Metsa\u00fchistu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the largest forest owners associations in Estonia in terms of membership, the P\u00f5lvamaa Metsa\u00fchistu was founded in 2000. Membership in the association began to grow rapidly in 2009, when, in addition to the existing advisory services and trainings for forest owners, forest management services also began to be offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, nearly 1400 forest owners have joined P\u00f5lvamaa Metsa\u00fchistu. A high demand for services and the constant advice and assistance provided by the association was what earned it a large number of new members.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since 16.10.2013, the Central Cooperative of Private Forests has been managing the FSC forest certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FSC certificate ensures that raw materials are separated from non-certified and uncontrolled forest material throughout the supply chain, making it possible to determine the origin of the material and trace it to the final product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
