Outcome Based Forestry (OBF) is the we manage the 1,255,000 acres that we own in Northern Maine. This sustainable forest management aligns with the criteria and objectives outlined within the Maine Forest Service’s (MFS) Outcome Based Forestry (OBF) law. OBF requires that our operations be implemented in a manner that is ecologically sustainable, economically viable and socially responsible; while achieving our objectives and iss the only system in that requires economic, social and environmental assessment. Our OBF agreement obligates us to maintain independent third party forest audits and certifications. Today, our Woodlands are certified to meet the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® C041515) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) forest certification systems. Under this agreement the FSC US Forest Management standards have been aligned (with additional indicators) with all federal and state laws.
