Join the Oregon Woodland Co-op
We are a member-owned cooperative that serves our members by developing markets for their products and services, assisting them in acquiring services and production means, and providing them information to improve their forest management. OWC welcomes new members. Any family or individual who owns woodland in Oregon, and who shares our values, is eligible for membership. Individuals who do not own woodland, but are interested in working with OWC, can join as Working Partners or Affiliate Members.
Members
Members gather for 2015 Annual Meeting
Here are some of the ways that membership in OWC can benefit you:
Product Marketing. The Co-op markets both timber and non-timber forest products that members grow or create under our OWC, Canopy or Heartwood brands to both wholesale and retail markets.
Forestry Consultants. The OWC has vetted several registered professional foresters and forestry consultants who can help OWC members manage their forest land for both economic and environmental sustainability.
Access to Skills & Equipment. Knowledgeable members can share their forest management skills to help new members. Some members can provide equipment-based services for other members such as firewood bundling.
