MY TAKE: It’s Their Hearts: The People Of Seaway Timber Harvesting
Each time the committee behind the Timber Harvesting Logging Business Of The Year award meets to discuss nominees the conversation defaults to their business acumen. And for this year’s winner, their business acumen is one of the brightest and strongest we’ve seen in many years. Their diversification streams rival those of South Carolina’s Williams family and their take-charge attitude echoes Oregon’s Millers and Idaho’s Ikolas.

Minimizing Soil Damage On Skid Trails, Crossings
Back before Best Management Practices (BMPs) were published, loggers used to ask me, “Is it better to use one skid trail and do a lot of damage in one place or should we run all over the place, making more skid trails, but none of them quite as bad?”

MASSENA, New York – Sometimes being in business means finding problems to solve. Other times it means solving problems that are already there. Over 30 years ago when the Curran brothers, Pat, Lee and Time, started their logging business – aptly named Curran Logging – they thought they knew what to expect. Hard workers from basically birth, this bunch from upstate New York has never met a challenge they won’t push through.
