Forest management co-operative Mezsaimnieks is one of four such co-operatives currently operating in Latvia.  As the oldest, we were established in 2011 by 15 forest owners in the Western part of the country. Today we provide advisory, forest management and wood sale services to our members. We also write EU funded projects on their behalf to fund afforestation, thinning and tree species replacement projects. Forestry work is generally done through our permanent sub-contractors.

Working through our co-operative gives a forest owner free advice, better quality forest work, better sales conditions, correct measurement and improved financial safety.  We can provide that because we are participating in wood and services markets every day of the year.
