The Living Forest Cooperative based in Ashland, WI, is a cooperative where the costs of management, processing, and marketing are shared through the cooperative business. By collectively marketing, members command higher prices for raw and processed wood products. A single small landowner is at a disadvantage in the timber market. Few people have the experience, time, or money to sustainably manage a forest and process and market wood products for maximum return. The Cooperative pools member harvests and explores opportunities for production of value added wood products.
