FSC awards bring out greenest of green

Countdown to this year's FSC Responsible Forest Management Awards.

Held in Melbourne on 11 November, the awards are designed to recognise and reward organizations that demonstrate the spirit and intent of the FSC system through management practices.

This year's awards include seven categories: large forest manager of the year; small forest manager of the year; large chain of custody operation of the year; small chain of custody operation of the year; retailer of the year; building company/developer of the year and publisher/paper user of the year.

Michael Conroy is this year's guest speaker. The author and philanthropic executive has been associated with FSC for over a decade.

FSC hopes that this year's awards will follow on from the success of 2007 which attracted a crowd of 300 people including architects, paper buyers, printers, builders, government officials and industry leaders.
