The Forest Certification Experience - A Commentary by Dovetail Partners

In January 2021, Dovetail released a report providing an update on the status of forest certification in general. This month, we offer the personal perspectives of Dovetail team members who have direct experience as certificate holders. Read “The Forest Certification Experience” to hear from Mark Jacobs, retired land commissioner for Aitkin County, Minnesota, who was responsible for managing a Forest Stewardship Council forest management certificate from 1997-2018; and Harry Groot, owner/operator of Next Generation Woods in Hiwassee, Virginia, whose family forestlands were certified through a group certificate from 2005-2014.
