The Challenge

SFI certification involves multiple steps and technical concepts that aren’t always easy to understand. Key challenges: • Translating technical standards into plain language • Keeping the content concise within a limited format • Making the information useful for both new and experienced landowners The piece needed to be clear enough to educate, but structured enough to guide action.

Our Strategy

Content Structure • Broke information into clear sections (what it is, how it works, why it matters) • Focused on the certification process and long-term benefits • Kept language straightforward and direct Design Approach • Created a clean, front-and-back layout • Used visuals to support key points without adding clutter • Designed for quick reading and easy reference Audience Focus • Tailored content for landowners and land managers • Balanced introductory information with practical steps • Ensured the piece works as a standalone resource

The Results

The brochure provides a clear, accessible overview of SFI certification and responsible land stewardship. It can be used across outreach efforts to support education and give landowners a starting point for pursuing certification.
