We aim to manage our community-owned forest at levels that vastly exceed FSC® standards. Our forest products are milled on the shores of Kootenay Lake, in tiny Harrop, BC, and sold to contractors and homeowners in Southeastern BC and further afield.
Community Integrity
The Harrop-Procter Community Co-operative runs our community forest and sawmill.
Forests First
Our forest management approach prioritizes environmental and social values.
Sustainable Lumber
Our business builds local capacity and promotes resilience in our community.
Our co-op
Our mandate is to practice socially and environmentally progressive
forestry that protects local watersheds while creating sustainable jobs
in our community.
A New Approach
The villages of Harrop and Procter are developing a new approach to forestry in BC.
