Happy International Day of Forests! 🌳✨ Forests are more than just trees - they are ecosystems that support #biodiversity, store carbon, and provide essential resources. But to keep them thriving, we must manage them responsibly. 🎥 Watch Luke Forest, Forestry Operations Supervisor at The Crown Estate in Windsor, UK, as he shares how #PEFC certification drives sustainable forest management, how forestry has evolved, and his approach to protecting and enhancing biodiversity in the forest. “In a PEFC-certified forest, we encourage the presence of more animals and constantly strive to create a long-lasting habitat for them,” he explains. "Instead of digging straight ditches, we create ponds, benefiting both water retention and wildlife.” 🐿️🐝 By embracing innovation and sustainable practices, we can ensure our forests remain healthy for generations to come. Today and every day, let’s commit to protecting and preserving our forests! 🌱💚 #IntlForestDay #SustainableForestry #PEFCCertified PEFC UK Limited

First Trees outside Forests are PEFC certified 🌳 The first-ever PEFC Trees outside Forests certificate was issued to the municipality of Zwolle in the Netherlands, marking a milestone in recognising the importance of urban trees. In the Netherlands, where half of the trees grow outside of forests, #TreesOutsideForests certification is a game changer. It ensures responsible management of city parks, roadside plantings, and other green spaces. “Sustainability doesn't stop at the forest edge,” says Marten de Groot, National Secretary of PEFC Nederland. “In the Netherlands, half of the trees grow outside traditional forest areas, significantly contributing to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health.” Certification also enhances ecological value, secures responsible sourcing, and opens new opportunities for sustainable urban forestry. Congratulations to Zwolle and PEFC Netherlands for leading the way! 🎉 👉 treee.es/ToF1Certificate #SustainableForestry #UrbanTrees #PEFC #Sustainability
