A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :

The Berea College Forest achieved Forest Stewardship Council certification. This certification standard has been developed to capture on-the-ground conditions that represent true forest stewardship and provide the foundation for FSC-certified forestry in the U.S. The result is a label that identifies for consumers the products that are sourced from forests managed to the highest environmental, social, and economic standards.

Berea College is one of just a handful of Colleges or Universities with an FSC certified forest.
