About Us

The North Car­oli­na Sus­tain­able Forestry Ini­tia­tive-State Imple­men­ta­tion Com­mit­tee (NC SFI-SIC) is com­mit­ted to pro­mot­ing the sus­tain­able man­age­ment of forests in North Car­oli­na. The NC SFI-SIC sup­ports pro­grams and ini­tia­tives that help for­ward sound forestry prac­tices with­in the for­est prod­ucts indus­try and oth­er forestry relat­ed entities.

The NC SFI SIC is a self-fund­ed com­mit­tee. Funds are pro­vid­ed by for­est prod­ucts com­pa­nies par­tic­i­pat­ing in the NC SFI SIC pro­gram which either own tim­ber­lands, and/​or acquire all or a por­tion of their wood needs from pub­lic and pri­vate forests in North Car­oli­na for their man­u­fac­tur­ing facilities.

While com­pa­nies on the com­mit­tee are from var­i­ous sec­tors of the for­est prod­ucts indus­try, the com­mit­tee also receives impor­tant input from var­i­ous state agen­cies includ­ing the North Car­oli­na For­est Ser­vice, con­ser­va­tion groups, indus­try advo­cates, and uni­ver­si­ty representatives. 

NC SFI SIC Goal

To ensure that forests in North Car­oli­na are man­aged wise­ly and that these forests will be able to sup­port the recre­ation­al, envi­ron­men­tal, and com­mer­cial needs of future generations.
