The World's native forests are a 'celebration' to the diversity of life and colour.
Forestry plantations help preserve and maintain native forests by providing an alternative and renewable resource for our future generations.
In Brazil, Faber-Castell manages 10.000 hectares of pine plantations as a source of raw material for over 1.5 billion pencils annually. Our tree nurseries produce over 1 million seedlings per year and generate 20 m3 of wood every hour (= 1 truck!). The Faber-Castell forests and factories have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically sustainable. The FSC is a committe of the world's most powerful forestry experts, including organizations such as Greenpeace and WWF.
