The greatest expansion in the last years was experienced by private forest owners% societies, which are defined under the Societies Act as independent and non-profit organizations. In response to this, private forest owners are aspiring to upgrade such forms of organization in the direction of a more business-like cooperation. This paper presents the private Pohorje-Kozjak Forest Owners Society as an example of a good practice expansion from society activities onto the level of business (cooperative) cooperation. A survey on business cooperation and opportunities for professionalization of activities was conducted on the sample of members of the society and the forest cooperative. Results showed that younger forest owners, with a larger forest property and a higher education, are more open towards business cooperation. Furthermore, members of the society and the cooperative favour business cooperation and professionalization, but are unwilling to bear the financial burden. As such, they wish a state support in terms of financial stimulation for good practice and professionalization of activitiesVečina ključnih problemov gospodarjenja z zasebnimi gozdovi izhaja iz majhne in razdrobljene gozdne posesti, ki je v lasti velikega števila lastnikov. Zato je njihovo povezovanje ključno za bolj učinkovito gospodarjenje. Največji razmah so v zadnjih letih doživela društva lastnikov gozdov, ki so po Zakonu o društvih opredeljena kot samostojno in nepridobitno združenje. Kot odgovor temu se je med člani pokazala težnja po nadgradnji takšne oblike povezovanja v smeri poslovnega povezovanja. V prispevku je predstavljeno Društvo lastnikov gozdov Pohorje-Kozjak kot primer dobre prakse širitve z društvenih aktivnosti na raven poslovnega (zadružnega) sodelovanja. Na vzorcu članov društva in zadruge je bila opravljena anketa o poslovnem povezovanju in možnostih profesionalizacije dela. Za poslovno povezovanje so bolj pripravljeni mlajši lastniki gozdov večjih gozdnih posesti z višjo stopnjo izobrazbe. Člani društva in zadruge so naklonjeni poslovnemu povezovanju in profesionalizaciji, vendar sami nočejo nositi finančnega bremena. Pri tem si želijo pomoči države v smislu finančnih spodbud za podporo dobrim praksam in profesionalizaciji delaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaGozdarski inštitut Slovenije
