ALBANY, Ga. — F&W Forestry Services is honored to be a recipient of the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) 2022 Leadership Award. The annual award was established by FSC in 2010 to recognize uncommon excellence that advances responsible forest management and forest conservation.

The awards celebrate forest owners, builders, architects, retailers, paper mills, manufacturers, environmental organizations, and others across Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. who contribute to the movement toward responsible sourcing and forest management. Categories under which submissions are taken include design and build projects, FSC-certified company/organization, FSC trademark license holder, nonprofit organization, uncommon partnership, and individual champions.

Other 2022 winners include American Green Consulting, Appalachian Mountain Club, Bio Pappel, Cascades, Ejido Noh Bec/Ejido Caoba/Ejido Nuevo Becal, Element5, Greenerprinter, HP Inc., Lafcadio Cortesi, The Longleaf Alliance/American Forest Foundation/The Nature Conservancy, Melissa & Doug, Meta, Peter Hayes and Family, REI, West Elm and World Wildlife Fund-US.

FSC was formed in 1993 to create standards by which forests are certified, offering assurance to consumers and businesses that the wood products they buy originate from well-managed forests. More than 4,000 companies and 160 million acres of forestland are FSC certified in the United States and Canada.

Former UGA Forestry School Dean to Join F&W’s Executive Management Team

February 2, 2022/0 Comments/in media-2022 /by mandr-fw

ALBANY, Ga. — Michael L. (Mike) Clutter, a former professor and dean of the University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, has joined F&W Forestry Services.

After a 40-year career in academia and the forestry sector, Clutter has assumed the newly created position at F&W of Chief Analytics Officer, where he will be responsible for guiding and facilitating the continued development and improvement of the company’s back-office support services and information management solutions for timberland owners.

F&W is a major U.S. and international forest management, consulting, and services firm headquartered in Albany, Ga., with extensive operations throughout the major forestry regions of the U.S., South America, France, and the United Kingdom.

“We are extremely fortunate to have Mike Clutter on the F&W team,” said F&W President Marshall Thomas. “His educational background and career experience, including working in academia and the private sector, brings a unique perspective and skill set to help drive our future development.”

For more than 20 years, F&W has provided outsourced support services for mid-to-large timberland owners and investment managers. F&W has experienced significant growth in this area over the last few years as clients realign their focus. Keeping up with this demand requires additional analytics and new technologies to continue to improve data analysis and reporting.

An authority on economics of the forest industry, including finance, budgeting, and timberland management, Clutter earned master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Georgia Warnell School and was on the faculty from 2001 to 2015, serving as dean from 2007 to 2015. He has conducted extensive research on financial aspects of the forest industry and timberland management practices.
