Logger Resorces

Pennsylvania’s professional timber harvesting workforce serves an essential role in ensuring the sustainability of our state’s forest resources.

The Pennsylvania SFI Implementation Committee (SIC) responds to allegations of practices that appear inconsistent with the SFI Standard principles and objectives. The Pennsylvania SIC’s Inconsistent Practices program establishes a procedure to address concerns raised by loggers, consulting foresters, employees, unions, stakeholders, the public or other SFI Certified Organizations regarding forest management that appears inconsistent with the SFI standards principles and objectives (SFI 2022 FM 14.3 & SFI 2022 FS 7.3). The Inconsistent Practices Program is a resource open to anyone and provides a venue for reporting and addressing these concerns. The program was established to foster a dialogue with the public on forest management and to facilitate the use of good forestry practices. All reports are handled confidentially by the Pennsylvania SIC. Reports may be filed by any person using the reporting form below (also available by contacting the PA SIC office); however, all reports must identify the report filer. No anonymous reports will be accepted. Reports may not be initiated by telephone.
