This paper makes empirical and practical contributions to answering the question of how public and private forestry stakeholders can effectively interact in the management of the forestry sector, through an evaluation of government and industry perspectives on implementing forest certification on unalienated Crown lands in Newfoundland and Labrador. In order to evaluate the possibility and practicality of implementing certification, this study surveyed forestry stakeholders from the provincial forest service, pulp and paper industry and sawmill/product industry to discover their views on this topic and determine whether they share complementary forest certification goals. Overall, the majority of respondents agreed that certification should be pursued and favoured a joint government-industry approach to leading and financing this initiative.
