Did you know that the PEFC standard requires creating habitats for animals? 🦉🦋 For Florence Pertile, Forest Manager in Saint-Ours-les-Roches, France, this sets PEFC-certified forests apart from uncertified ones. “Since our forest is PEFC certified, we leave more deadwood in it to create habitats for animals,“ she explains. “Dead wood, hollow trees, old groves and rare tree species shall be left to safeguard biological diversity,” says the PEFC Sustainable Forest Management standard. #PEFCRaisingTheBar #forestcertification #certificationmatters ONF (Office National des Forêts) PEFC FRANCE
