Vooremaa Metsaühistu

The Vooremaa Metsaühistu, one of the youngest in Estonia, was founded in 2012, and has since grown into a medium-sized association with over 700 forest owners. The Vooremaa Metsaühistu was founded by its chairman, Harry Pütsepp, who, after working as a consultant for RMK and several associations, saw the need to create an independent forest owners association in the region.

It was the Vooremaa Metsaühistu that was the first to start drawing up forest management plans. It is important for the association that a forest owner be able to contact the association as easily as possible, which is why an office was also opened in Tartu.

FSC Certification. Metsaühistu

FSC Certification

Since 16.10.2013, the Central Cooperative of Private Forests has been managing the FSC forest certification.

The FSC certificate ensures that raw materials are separated from non-certified and uncontrolled forest material throughout the supply chain, making it possible to determine the origin of the material and trace it to the final product.
