What we do

Commercial Forestry Services Provider

FBS serves as a Commercial Forestry Services Provider in Tanzania and beyond 

Commercial forestry services refer to the management and production of forests and trees for commercial purposes. This involves the identify best planting materials, planting, management, harvesting, processing, and marketing of forest products such as timber, pulpwood, and wood chips for various uses such as construction, paper production, and energy generation. Commercial forestry services are typically carried out by private companies or state-owned enterprises, and they play an important role in supporting the global economy and providing employment opportunities.

One of the primary benefits of commercial forestry services is that they can support sustainable forest management practices. Well-managed forests can provide a range of ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation. Commercial forestry services can also help to maintain forest health and productivity by controlling pests and diseases, conducting forest thinning and pruning, and ensuring the regeneration of new trees.

In addition to the environmental benefits, commercial forestry services can provide significant economic benefits, particularly for rural communities. Forests can provide a range of products and services, such as timber, non-timber forest products, and ecotourism opportunities. This can support local livelihoods and contribute to economic development in the region. Furthermore, commercial forestry services can also generate revenue for governments through taxes and royalties.

Here are some of the typical services that FBS are offering:

1. Identification and the use of quality planting material: Improved forest planting materials are an essential component of sustainable forest management. These materials include seeds, seedlings, cuttings, and other vegetative propagules that have been selected or developed based on their genetic quality, adaptability, and productivity.
2. Forest management planning: We can help forest owners and managers to develop long-term forest management plans that consider ecological, social, and economic factors. This includes developing plans for forest regeneration, silviculture, and forest health management.
3. Timber harvesting: We can assist with the planning and execution of timber harvesting operations. This includes the selection of trees for harvest, the use of appropriate harvesting methods, and the processing and transport of harvested timber.
4. Forest inventory and mapping: We can help to assess the condition and productivity of forests by conducting forest inventories and mapping. This includes measuring tree growth, identifying tree species, and mapping forest cover and land use.
5. Forest certification: We can assist forest owners and managers with obtaining forest certification, which verifies that the forest is being managed in a sustainable and responsible manner. This includes certification schemes such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
6. Forest carbon offsetting: We can assist forest owners and managers with participating in carbon offsetting schemes. This involves calculating the carbon sequestration potential of the forest and selling carbon credits to companies and organizations looking to offset their carbon emissions.
