American Loggers Council Gathers In Maine
Loggers and industry advocates from throughout the U.S. (and beyond) converged on the little town of Newry, Me., October 4-6 for the American Loggers Council’s 2023 Annual Meeting. Maine’s own Andy Irish ended his 2022-2023 term as ALC President by hosting the event in his home state, offering his peers from other regions a sample of the local culture, cuisine and logging techniques. Along with seminars, discussions and votes on multiple topics pertinent to the industry, ALC also conducted its annual Log a Load for Kids auction, raising more than $50,000 for Children’s Miracle Networks hospitals. After Hatton-Brown’s Dan Shell presented Montana’s Ken Swanstrom with Timber Harvesting’s 2023 Logging Business of the Year award, outgoing President Irish passed the gavel to his successor, California’s Mike Albrecht, who will serve as ALC President until this time next year.
