Certification Map of Canada
This map shows certified forest lands across Canada. It provides information on forest tenure areas and the certification standards applied to them. Learn more here.
How to use the Map
Click on a province to open a detailed provincial view. Then select any coloured block of tenured forest land to see certification details for that area. A Certification Summary will appear, showing:
- The company holding the tenure certificate
- The total certified area (in hectares)
- The standard to which the area is certified
- The most recent certification audit report and/or Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) plan.
About the Data
Certification data changes regularly. This map represents a snapshot in time, based on the date shown. Updates depend on information being communicated from certification bodies to the standards organizations and are reflected through annual updates. Any corrections should be directed to the relevant standard body (FSC, PEFC Canada, or SFI).

The data comes from the Canadian Certification Status Report, which is updated annually. This map was created for the Forest Products Association of Canada by Dave Baldwin of Spatialworks.
