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.

The Canadian Institute of Forestry awards the SFM Network with its 2009 Canadian Forest Management Group Achievement Award. See the Network's 2009 Annual Report for more details!
