The FSC

The plywood I have chosen to construct my sets with is all FSC sourced plywood. This stands for Forrestry Stewardship Council and this means that any trees that are harvested for timber are guaranteed to be replaced or allowed to regenerate naturally. They are an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world's forests. Every single year an area that is half the size of the U.K is cleared of natural forests and this is happening all around the world. These forests can not be replaced and when areas like this are cleared it has massive economic, social and evironmental impacts.

On FSC timber there will be their trademark logo to show that it is responibly sourced wood that will not be contributing to the destruction of the world's forests.
