Loode-Eesti Metsaühistu
Loode-Eesti Metsaühistu was established in 2025 through the merger of Läänemaa Metsaühistu and Arved Viirlaiu Põhja-Eesti Metsaühistu. As a result of this union, it became the largest forest association in Estonia, with nearly 1,500 members. Loode-Eesti Metsaühistu combines the 21 years of experience of Põhja-Eesti Metsaühistu and the 15 years of expertise of Läänemaa Metsaühistu, bringing together knowledge and best practices in sustainable forest management.
What sets Loode-Eesti Metsaühistu apart is its diverse membership. A significant number of our members are of Swedish origin, as many descendants of the historical coastal Swedes still live in Läänemaa. Because of this, English is also one of our working languages. Additionally, many of our members are forest owners living in Tallinn, with their forests located in Northern Estonia.
Today, the association has nearly 1,500 members who collectively own more than 35,000 hectares of forest land. We offer our members a full range of forest management services, helping them manage their forests sustainably and profitably.

FSC Certification
Since 16.10.2013, the Central Cooperative of Private Forests has been managing the FSC forest certification.
