Out of the Woods: Enriching your Maple Business
Registering for this upcoming webinar will keep you registered for the entire series. Monthly email updates for each session will be sent to your inbox.

During this presentation we will discuss the United Plants Savers Forest Grown Verified (FGV) Program, a voluntary, third-party verification for producers, harvesters, and processors of edible and medicinal forest products that are produced in a sustainable manner. The FGV program seeks to help forest producers build consumer confidence and demand for sustainably produced products, capture premium market prices, and document forest crops in case of theft or other losses. Participants will learn about the history of the program, how it has changed over the last 5 years, as well as program eligibility requirements, how to apply, and how to stay enrolled.

This is the twenty second session of Future Generations University’s webinar series, “Out of the Woods: Enriching your Maple Business.” This webinar series will cover everything from tree science and woodlot management to marketing and record-keeping.
