Inquiry

According to the EBN, Volume 14 No. 10 all Potlatch Corporation forest land is certified by FSC as of 9/1/05. The dimension lumber purchased for the project to date is manufactured by Potlatch through a local lumber yard and was delivered wrapped, banded and clearly labeled "Potlatch - SFC Certified". The chain-of-custody is broken only by the local lumber yards who are resisting payment of the FSC certification fee. Can we claim credit for lumber despite its passing through a lumber yard that is not FSC certified?
