About Hoo-Hoo International

The world's oldest fraternal organization dedicated to the forest products industry.

Fellowship, Industry, and Service

The values of Hoo-Hoo International are rooted in three pillars: fellowship among members, dedication to the forest products industry, and service to our communities. These values have guided our organization since its founding in 1892 and continue to shape everything we do.

Fellowship

At the heart of Hoo-Hoo is the bond between members. We believe that strong personal relationships are the foundation of a strong industry. Our clubs, conventions, and events are designed to foster genuine connections that last a lifetime.

Industry Advancement

We are proud advocates for the forest products industry. Through education, networking, and advocacy, we work to advance the interests of our members and the broader industry, ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future for all who depend on the forest.

Community Service

Hoo-Hoo members are committed to giving back. From local charitable initiatives to industry-wide educational programs, we believe that our success creates an obligation to serve others.
