Logging activity, community forest licenses, silviculture, forestry support goods and services, forestry technology, forest-ecotourism, non timber forest products, value added manufacturing, wood arts and crafts, wood waste recycling and value adding….all these, and more, are important components of the 'forest sector'. All or any of these can represent opportunities for your community.

Jobs, diversification, new business ventures, economic stability and supporting the existing forest business base are the quantifiable results that Synergy can deliver for you.

Synergy can help you achieve forest sector initiatives that can also act as 'success stories' and 'role models' in your community / region, and stimulate new and ongoing forest sector economic activity. Quite often the results extend to other economic sectors.

The process of forest economic planning and development is often a juggling act between politics, personalities, conflicting agendas and other non-related issues. Synergy's objective, professional and very hands-on approach is able to get beyond those roadblocks and get opportunities and initiatives underway and on stream. We work to bring harmony among community stakeholders and get all parties working together towards common economic development goals and visions. We get all parties to focus on the potential benefits.

Synergy identifies and structures opportunities, works closely with 'community champions,' gets the community to buy into and support forest sector opportunities, motivates entrepreneurs and others in the community to get involved, and, when required, attracts outside partners and funders.
