NWFA to Host Responsible Forestry Webinar

The NWFA will host a webinar Sept. 7 during which it will present changes to its Responsible Procurement Program (RPP) for sustainable forestry. Jason Grant, a sustainable forestry consultant who helped craft the RPP, will discuss the program revisions. NWFA says, "Manufacturers are now given more support and fewer hurdles as they implement the process of measuring and marketing their commitment to responsible forestry procurement."

On the docket are these topics:

• Program requirements, costs and benefits
• The meaning and use of the U.S. Renewing Forests label
• Program tiers and framework
• How to prepare for an RPP audit
• Marketing with the NWFA RPP.

The webinar is intended for current RPP participants, prospective participants and anyone else interested in learning more about the program. The event will begin at 3 p.m. CST, and you may participate by telephone or Internet. To participate by telephone, call (218) 339-4600 and use this code: 121207.
