The Making of a Cooperative Forestry Program

Forestry cooperatives have the objective of accomplishing a goal by group, rather than by individual effort. Ingredients for a successful cooperative include enthusiastic leadership and committed clientele. For the Cooperative Programs at North Carolina State University, all cooperators are treated equitably, regardless of size, age, or state of knowledge, to operate at a defined threshold level of activity, and all are required to share research results and plant materials with other cooperators. Research results are made available to the public with minimal delay. Continuing education is an essential part of any successful forestry cooperative.
