Fire Awareness
Managing forests to limit their susceptibility to fire has been a core part of program plans for SFI-certified organizations for many years. Working in collaboration to raise awareness of the roles of fire in forests, both positive and negative, is also an activity that many SFI-certified organizations have actively undertaken. In 2021, SFI released the Project Learning Tree® Activity Collection Nature of Fire as a resource to support youth and community education. Objective 10 in the 2022 SFI Forest Management standard recognizes the growing importance of promoting fire resilience in forests, especially in the context of climate change, and formalizes the opportunities for collaborative efforts that many SFI-certified organizations have made as part of their multifaceted forest management programs.
