CO2 STORED in FOREST MANAGEMENT MARCHE
"Calculation and certification of carbon sequestration in managed forests"
The project CO2 Stored in Forests Management MARCHE (CO2 S.Fo.Ma. MARCHE), has as its objective the Active Management of Forests and the employment of forest workers in a continuous and professional way in the mountain areas of the Marche Region, with particular attention to the area of the crater of the earthquake.
The Sustainable Forest Management(SFM) of the forests of the SAF (Agro-forestry Society) Marche, Tronto and Monti Azzurri will be attested by a Certification voluntary recognised by accredited third party Certifying Bodies, to increase the carbon storage, preventing forest fires, hydrogeological instability, soil erosion, protecting forests and biodiversity, contributing to good quality water and air, mitigating temperatures and climate change, enhancing the landscape and offering better tourism and recreation services.
WE THEREFORE BELIEVE THAT IT IS RIGHT TO RECOGNISE AN ECONOMIC VALUE TO A SUSTAINABLY MANAGED FOREST AND ITS CAREGIVERS.
After a lot of hard work, on December 30, 2022, THE #BOSCODIMARCA GROUP OBTAINED SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION ACCORDING TO PEFC STANDARDS 1000:2015 AND 1001-1:2015 BY THE CSQA CERTIFICATION ENTITY!!!
THE BIG GOAL OF THIS OPERATING GROUP HAS BEEN REACHED!
We recall by whom the #BOSCODIMARCA Group is formed:
- Agricultural Forestry Society for the management of agro-sylvo-pastoral assets of the Marche region
- Agricultural Forestry Society of management of agro-sylvo-pastoral assets of the Blue Mountains
- Agricultural Forestry Society for the management of agro-sylvo-pastoral assets of the Tronto
- Catria Special Consortium Company
On December 20, 2022, online partnership meetings continue for final project activities
On November 10, 2022, in Ecomondo in Rimini, the Group #BOSCODIMARK received the Sustainable Forest Communities 2022 Award!!!
Since September, the SUSTAINABILITY CREDIT EXCHANGE PLATFORM !!!
We would like to connect supply and demand for sustainability credits from certified forests, including in other parts of Italy, in a voluntary market for trading tons of carbon, stored under additionality criteria (i.e., that do not fall under the Italian government's counts under the Kyoto and Paris agreements).
Between August 22 and September 5, the internal audits for PEFC certification of the group #BOSCODIMARCA !!!
The work on obtaining GFS forestry certification in the Marche!!! The focus group #MARCH WOODS met on 17 December 2021the 09 e 28 March e 08 April 2022 to talk about quotations for GFS certification (CSI and CSQA); Delegations; Stakeholders; Management Policy; Agreement between the parties.

#Promoter #DREAMITALIA #CURSA
The 24 March 2021, a B2B (single stakeholder) information meeting was held with CREA. The meeting was organised online by the lead partner, SAF Marche, and by DREAM Italy to share the S.Fo.Ma.MARCHE project and our sustainability credit exchange adventure
The 01 and the February 15th 2021 the partners met on line to talk about new activities born within the project, and that force an extension, given the enlargement of the group of subjects that will require a Sustainable Forest Management certification according to PEFC criteria and given the need to deepen the theme of the SUSTAINABILITY CREDITS as a bargaining chip in the voluntary marketplace...

We know that the Carbon stored in sustainably managed forests is higher than in 'traditionally' or unmanaged forests, we're gathering evidence to prove it to you!
