How cooperation works

Like solidarity, cooperation is everywhere even if we can't always see it.

Fantastic Forests

The forestry industry has a good number of workers organized into cooperatives. Forestry cooperatives are closer to the people than the big paper companies and put more energy into the environment, ecology and sustainable development so as to leave a legacy for future generations. The Coopérative forestière de Girardville is proof of that. Twenty years ago, these cooperators started producing essential oils by extraction from black spruce logging residues. Now it is involved in numerous activities, including forest management, ecological harvesting, greenhouses and nurseries.

Cooperatives: Good ideas abound in the forest!
