What is Certified Wood? In order to be “certified”, producers and manufacturers must satisfy strict criteria set by appointed certification agencies, which are responsible for implementing the FSC principles. Certifiers like Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), assess the on-the-ground forest practices of a given operation against a stringent set of environmental and social criteria, such as: 

Sustainable harvest levels
Low use of herbicides
Re-creation of natural disturbance patterns
Protection of wildlife habitat
Erosion Protection

Silkroad Maple is harvested using an “uneven-aged selective harvesting management system”, meaning that harvesting is carried out so that trees from each age group are retained minimizing the impacts on the local ecosystem. This careful selective system avoids shocking the ecosystem while maintaining habitat.
