Visions Northwest was notified that a proposal for funding to assist in efforts to form a regional wood products initiative has been accepted by the University of Wisconsin Center for Cooperatives.
The $4,950 cooperative forestry grant will be used to organize and plan meetings for a regional wood products collaborative to explore ways to fully utilize the potential of our forests in Northwest Wisconsin by looking beyond traditional markets and products. Visions Northwest will work together with our partners to build this collaboration into a diverse representation including forest/wood products industry, state/federal agencies and organizations, regional economic development and academia.
