Welcome to the Sustainable Forest Management Network
The Sustainable Forest Management Network (SFMN or SFM Network) is an incorporated non-profit Canadian research group. SFM is a Network for Centres of Excellence (NCE). With our partners, we fund, plan, conduct, and apply interdisciplinary, university-based research that addresses issues related to sustainable forest management.
