ATFS Verification Database

The American Tree Farm System offers an online verification system for organizations interested in verifying Tree Farm certification.  To help with companies’ chain-of-custody verification needs, ATFS has created a real-time, web-based system that will allow subscribers to look up individual properties covering 27 million acres and verify their ATFS certification status. 

The system is designed so that users may log in with an ATFS issued password, enter specific data about the tract in question and then receive a real-time reply regarding its certification status. Subscriber fees are based on number of facilities.

One subscription for a single mill is $500/yr. Any additional mill will be an additional $500/yr, up to three mills. For companies wishing to subscribe for more than three mills, there is a flat fee of $1500/year. Wood dealer yards and consulting firms may purchase a single subscription for $400/yr.   

Fees are based on annual, unlimited use for each facility and its own individual network of wood procurement and verification.  Upon receipt of the fee, subscribers will be given password access to the on-line verification system. The password can be shared by the subscriber to appropriate verifiers within the facility’s procurement network. However, supporting facility procurement entities such as wood buyers and other extra-company wood consolidation entities will need to subscribe separately. To login, visit www.atfsdatabase.org 

Fees are assessed yearly on the date the contract was signed by the subscriber.  Passwords expire at year’s end and companies must renew in order to continue to use the OVS. For further information or to learn how your organization can subscribe, please contact Justin Lindenberg by phone at 202/463-2451 or by email to jlindenberg@forestfoundation.org
