WORKING TOGETHER FOR OUR FORESTS

The Kickapoo Woods Cooperative (KWC) works with landowners, public and private foresters, loggers, sawmill operators, secondary wood manufacturers, and other natural resource professionals in the region to create a broad, positive impact on the local forest industry and community.

Our mission is to provide sustainable forestry education and management services
to landowners of the Kickapoo Valley and neighboring watersheds.

The Co-op is dedicated to principles of sustainable forestry, a method of forest management that keeps all ecosystem functions in place while allowing continuous deviations. Any resource that is used must then be replaced, keeping the ecosystem perpetually renewed. Sustainable forestry recognizes both human values and the intrinsic value of land and nature.

regeneration of trees
perpetual supply of wood and forest products
maintenance of soil, water, and air resources
abundant wildlife habitat, and enjoyment of the natural world
