where logging permits are issued Explanation: The forest gate is where permission is issued to enter the forests for purposes of logging, I think. This shapefile provides the boundaries of UFA logging permits allocated in Cameroon, including permits awarded in the June 2000 round of concession allocations. Concession ownership is provided in the shapefile attribute data. Logging concessions are now being allocated under a new system in Cameroon as UFA'a (Unite Forestiere d' Amenagement). http://tinyurl.com/256zrfb |

under the responsibility of a forestry company Explanation: The term, which probably comes from an older literal meaning, is used to mean within (the limits of) the responsibility of a forestry company, or under the responsibliity of the company. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES: This is from an article about mandating sustainable forestry "With less volume leaving the forest gate under certified management, many processing jobs will inevitably disappear (or perhaps more accurately will disappear sooner than they would have otherwise)." http://www.fonv.ca/activities/articles/cookingtheforestry/ Also related to sustainable forestry: E. Chain of custody certificate The scope of the chain of custody will include infield chipping of logs and hauling of chips to the port facilities. The forest gate for Timbercorp Forestry will be at the weighbridge scales at the respective ports (i.e., Bunbury, Albany, or Portland) where the chips are delivered. Also from the same 54 page document: A substantially important development for the company’s wood chip export business was the completion of the Albany Chip Terminal Project this year and the first shipments in April 2005. The definition of the ‘forest gate’ and the scope of the Timbercorp Chain of Custody certificate has been expanded since the original certification and evaluated in this audit. http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/forestry/documents/timber... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 46 mins (2010-06-18 14:50:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- One more in a similar vein: The chain of custody issue of concern to this audit report is the “stump to forest gate” link in the material flow chain. As with all annual surveillance audits, the audit team examined log handling up to the forest gate and found no changes in the certified procedures as compared to what was observed during the prior annual audit. That is, the evaluation team concludes that stump-to-forest gate chain-of-custody procedures are operating effectively and in conformance with FSC chain-of-custody requirements. http://www.mrc.com/pdf/2006_SCS_MRC_Cert.pdf |
