assist logging contractors impacted by the
devastating wildfires of 2020. It was through
the efforts of one of the conference’s newest
board members, Heidi Leib, that this fund
was established. By the end of 2020, more
than $100,000 dollars was raised and will be
made available to contractors. Applications
for assistance are available through the OLC
and the Association of Oregon Loggers.
OWIT will also be hosting a modified

OREGON LOGGING CONFERENCE
with the OLC in 2018 and provides an op-
portunity for young adults about to finish
high school to learn about the many careers
available to them in the forestry and wood
products industry. Last year this event was
attended by more than 700 students from
around Oregon and SW Washington.
To continue to reach out to high school
students and provide them with current job
opportunities in our industry, a partnership
has formed between the Oregon Logging
Conference Foundation, Sweet Home
High School, and natural resource instruc-
tor Blake Manley to produce several videos.
These videos highlight a variety of logging
jobs available today. Videos are posted on
the OLC Foundation website and can also
be viewed on YouTube.
The OLC Foundation remains commit-
ted to supporting students who are pursu-
ing a degree or vocational training in fields
related to the forestry and wood products
industry. Thanks to the efforts of OLC
Board Member Jeanne Shuttleworth, the
recent 2nd annual Shooting for Scholarships
was a great success, raising more than
$30,000 dollars for the OLC foundation.
The Foundation, over the last few years, has
awarded more than $40,000 dollars annually
to deserving students.
On a personal note, I would like to say
what an honor and privilege it is to serve as
the president of the 83rd Oregon Logging
Conference. This year’s theme, Family,
Friends, and Forestry, is representative of
most of the true constants in my life. My
family has been in the logging contracting
business for nearly 70 years. As a third-
generation logging contractor, I am proud
to have been able to bring my two sons into
the business to work with me this year, as
my dad did nearly 30 years ago and his dad
before that. One of the greatest privileges
of being raised and working in this indus-
try is the number of “characters” and people
of character whom I know, or have known,
and been able to call my friends. Forestry is
simply the bond that ties us all together. It is
the strength of all the elements of this theme
that will lead us through the current chal-
lenges we face, and the ones we will continue
to face in the future.
I speak for myself and all the directors of
the Oregon Logging Conference by saying
we hope you can find value in the programs
and events that we can provide for you this
year, and we will be looking forward to re-
storing the conference to its full content next
year. We look forward to seeing those who
are able to participate this year and will truly
miss those who cannot.

Oregon enacted the Forest Practices Act in 1971 as a national
