Boundary Waters Forest Management Corp

Boundary Waters Forest Management Company is audited by qualified third party auditors through participation in the SFI Program and as a requirement of our Sustainable Forest License.

SFI Program Participants certified to the Forest Management Standards are required to undergo annual surveillance audits by independent and accredited certification bodies to deliver ongoing conformance. To maintain a current forest management certificate, certified Program Participants must undergo a full re-certification audit every five years. The Boundary Waters Forest was certified in 2020.

An SFI surveillance Audit was completed in June 2024 on the Boundary Waters Forest. The results of that Audit as well as previous SFI Audits can be found at the Link below.

Independent Forest Audits are an integral part of Ontario's sustainable forest management framework. The Boundary Waters Forest Management unit is audited every 10-12 years.

An independent auditor assesses the performance of both BWFMC and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry in meeting their Forest Management responsibilities.

An IFA audit took place on the former Crossroute Forest in 2017 and the former Sapawe Forest in 2017. Once the audit reports become public, it will be available online below.
The next IFA is scheduled for 2025
