Husseini Canadian Standards Association,Mississauga, OntarioProject ManagerZ804-08 Canadian Standards Associationviii March 2008PrefaceThis is the first edition of CSA Z804, Sustainable forest management for woodlots an

45、d other small area forests. This Standard is intended for use by woodlot owners or managers of forests up to 4000 hectares, and has been developed in response to public expectations about responsible forest management. This Standard also addresses the desire of woodlot owners to gain recognition for

46、 the quality of their management, encourages improvement in the management of their lands, and strengthens their position in a market that increasingly demands forest products from lands where forest management has been certified. At the same time, it takes into consideration the small size of woodl

47、ots, their low net revenues, the limited resources of woodlot owners, and the fact that, in many cases, the requirements of CAN/CSA-Z809, Sustainable Forest Management: Requirements and Guidance, are impractical for small forests.This Standard addresses the sustainable forest management of defined w

48、oodlots, including the requirements for public consultation, performance, and system frameworks promoting continual improvement. It also lists the specific requirements that must be addressed, audited, and approved before certification can be achieved. Commitment of the woodlot owner to sustainable

49、forest management and the adoption of appropriate practices to achieve it will ensure the perpetuation of woodlot forests along with their many economic, ecological, social, and cultural benefits. At the same time, the acquired and legal rights of private woodlot owners to set their own management objectives should be respected.CSA recognizes the significant contribution of the Canadian Federation of Woodlot Owners in the initiation and the development of this Standard.This Standard was prepared by the Subcommitee on Sustainable Forest M
