Abstract
Scientific Certification Systems, a private company that assesses forest conservation practices, has certified land in Maine managed by the Seven Islands Land Co. as well-managed because of the company's removal of dying, diseased and overmature specimens from its forests. The designation gives Seven Islands an early entry into the developing market for premium-priced wood products, but environmentalists fear certification will be used to sanction the status quo and gloss over historical patterns of abuse.
