How does OneForest work?

Taking Forestry into the 21st Century

Growers and the supply chain work together, co-ordinated by OneForest, to plan, harvest, transport, measure and freight the logs to the market, obtaining market power.

Increased size means increased efficiency, shorter supply chains and the opportunities to add additional value. Increased size = increased marketing leverage with buyers. We now harvest and sell over 45 million logs on behalf of forest owners annually

OneForest gives a 20ha grower the market advantages of a 20,000ha estate.

Organised wood flows for logistics partners creates better planning, more business, more information sharing, new technology and increased profits.

OneForest creates the best return consistently for the forest owner, whilst creating synergies and co-ordination for logistics partners, enabling them to make the best consistent return.
