Most of the remaining acreage was farmland. About two-thirds of the members' land is in Sauk, Iowa and Richland counties. The remaining one-third is dispersed across 10 additional Wisconsin counties. Red and white oak account for 40 percent or more of members' trees. About 15 percent of member' trees are maple, about seven percent are basswood, and the remainder are a variety of other species.
Members also have non-wood resources on their lands.
See Chapter One, Resource Analysis, for additional information. Most members are interested in receiving a combination of services from SWC related to woodland management, harvesting, processing and marketing of timber and value-added wood products, and improvement of wildlife habitats and biodiversity. See Chapter Two, Member Services, for additional information. The co-op will provide all of the services listed above. We estimate that the co-op will be able to carry out between 50 and 70 plans between October 1998 and September 1999.
