The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University is presenting a FSC Certification short course for forestry managers and contractors in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal from 11 - 13 May 2015.

With Forest certification growing globally in excess of 30% per year and more than 85% of the South Africa forestry industry FSC certified, it has become critical for all role players in forestry to fully understand the FSC certification process and how it impacts on day-to-day forestry operations.

The three-day course, to be presented by Michal Brink, will provide participants with a clear understanding of the Forest Management standard used in South Africa and the approach of auditors when verifying compliance to the standard.
