ISF Programs
To fulfill our mission, we conduct programs in three mutually reinforcing areas:
Sustainable Forestry Program:
ISF monitors the success of sustainable forest practices, sponsors conferences
and workshops, provides educational information, technical assistance
and publications to non-industrial forest landowners and forest management
practitioners.
Community Economic Development Program:
ISF provides marketing, technical assistance, referrals, and strategic
planning support to the Sustainable Hardwoods Industry Cluster.
Sustainable Markets, Trade and Policy:
ISF supports the development of effective policy and market-based strategies
for non-industrial landowners practicing SmartWood
and Forest Stewardship Council certified
resource management.
