French forest management
FORESTRY management in France dates back to 1827 and the country enjoys a positive expansion of its standing timber.
This is achieved by harvesting 47,000,000 m3/year yet the number of trees in France increases by 81,000,000 m3 a year.
The rate of felling is equal to 58% of the annual biological production level.
The promotion of sustainable forest management is overseen by the global organisation Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
They assess national organisations, including those in France to provide an assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood products.
