Certifications & Affiliations
At Leer Wood Products, we maintain professional affiliations and certifications in logging safety, forest sustainability, and industry best practices to better serve you, our valued customer.
FISTA (Forest Industry Safety & Training Alliance Inc.)
Our logging professionals are FISTA certified. They are trained in safety, forestry, ecology, water quality, forest sustainability, silviculture, and other logging-related subjects. They also learn how to comply with MFL (Managed Forest Law). We ensure that woodland owners selling timber receive the appropriate tax reductions for sustainable forestry practices.
SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certification
Our timber harvesters practice environmentally sound principles. This ensures our wood products link to wood products come from responsibly managed forests. We practice sustainable forestry, helping woodland owners manage their forests for future generations.
GLTPA (Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association)
We are an active member of this timber professional organization. Through GLTPA, Leer Wood Products stays up-to-date on the latest industry news, Wisconsin woodland regulations, and forestry technology and practices.
TSI (Timber Stand Improvement)
Like other crops, timber needs to be managed in order to thrive. Our timber harvesters help woodland owners remove undesirable species, diseased trees, and poor-quality trees. We also harvest the mature trees. Timber Stand Improvement practices contribute to a healthy forest and protect a landowner’s investment.
