Our firewood source has been green certified through "The Master Logger Program".

It is based on a common vision for the rural communities of the Northeast.  12 principles to guide loggers in their work, and 8 goals: Document Harvest Planning, Protect Water Quality, Maintain Soil Productivity, Sustain Forest Ecosystems, Manage Forest Aesthetics, Ensure Workplace Safety, Demonstrate Continuous Improvement and Ensure Burisness Viability.

Field Verifiers visit harvest sites to decide whether potential Master Logging Companies are exceeding the standards that are required for certification. 

Their results are given to an independent, national board that makes the final decision on whether a company will be certified.  

To maintain Master Logger Certification, each company must be re-certified every 2 years. There are also random audits between re-certification, a continuous improvement process for upgrading skills within the company, and an attitude of partnership with other forest professionals and their associations.
