Love Your Wood: Use it Responsibly
The Greenpeace Music Wood Campaign is partnering with the music industry to protect threatened forest habitats and safeguard the future of the trees critical to making musical instruments. We are working together to increase the availability of traditional woods used by musical instrument manufacturers that can be certified to the exacting management standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and demonstrating, one species at a time, that there is a strong and growing market for well-managed, FSC certified wood.
FSC certified wood is Good Wood. It is not a lower quality wood--in fact it is the same wood but better! FSC wood comes from forests that have been audited for good management practices so that we will have high quality musical instruments and other wood products for the future. The FSC structure is built upon the principles of participation, democracy and equity.
Current partners include: Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Fender, Walden, Luthiers Mercantile International, Pacific Rim Tonewoods, North American Wood Products, Allied Lutherie and with additional companies soon to come on board.
