Loggers play a vital role in the health and well-being of forests and timber communities, and
require special knowledge and skills to provide and protect wood, wildlife, water, and recreational opportunities. The annual Loggers workshop offers an educational opportunity to interact with other forestry professionals and industry leaders to discuss emerging issues and ensure forests remain a source of goods and benefits for their owners and society.
