The Connecticut Professional Timber Producers Association, Inc., (also known as TIMPRO), is a non-profit trade organization representing the forest products industry in Connecticut. Two of our primary focuses are education and safety. Our organization represents all aspects of the timber producing industry, including timber harvesters (loggers), foresters, and sawmills.

It is the goal of the Connecticut Professional Timber Producers Association to establish, set, and become the gold standard of responsible timber harvesting in Connecticut.  All of our continuing education classes are approved by the CT Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Forestry.  TIMPRO keeps its members informed of current Legislative issues concerning the Forestry Industry, and provides the Industry with contact information for all of the current Legislators in the State of Connecticut.

TIMPRO's mission is to enhance the image of the Forest Products Profession throughout the State of Connecticut. We recognize the fact that integrity is the cornerstone of trust, and that trust in and of itself is something that can only be earned or built through perseverance and persistent adherence to responsibilities and obligations.  Some of the ways we are striving to enhance the image of our industry are:
