Northeast Loggers Group Expands

Officials with longtime loggers trade association, The Professional Logging Contractors of Maine, recently announced that the organization has rebranded as the Professional Logging Contractors of the Northeast, and has opened eligibility to contractors in Vermont.

The PLC of the Northeast has been representing loggers since 1995, and the move reflects finding opportunity in a rapidly changing industry, says Executive Director Dana Doran.

“Loggers and truckers throughout the Northeast share many of the same challenges and opportunities, and we believe that now is the time to grow the organization to meet those challenges and take advantage of those opportunities together,” he adds.

Members reviewed and approved changes to the organization’s bylaws pertaining to the expansion at the association’s annual meeting in May.

Doran notes that Vermont loggers deserve credit for taking the lead on the move. “The PLC stands ready to respond should loggers in other states seek the same representation and benefits a regional logging trade association can afford them.”
