We represent, advance and protect the interests and standards of the business and professions of logging and forestry, and provide a medium of contact between the forest products industry, public forest agencies and other interests of common interest.
We encourage and aid the training and proficiency of young people interested in logging, forestry and related fields.
We promote acquaintance, cooperative effort and good relations between our members and others engaged in forest management and related industries in other areas.
We promote a better understanding of the Forest Products Industry by the public.
History
The Sierra-Cascade Logging Conference was formed in 1949 and held the first conference in 1950. Over the years the history of our conference been well documented by an annual Report & Directory.
In 1974 Wampy Wambold put together information from the R & D’s into an article covering The First 25 Years. In 1999 Warren Carlton put together The First 50 years – some of the material for the first 25 years in his article came from Wampy’s First 25 Years, but there is information included by Warren that doesn’t appear in Wampy’s article. In 2012 Bill Dennison added 1999 to 2010. These three articles are very complete and include the President’s names, themes, attendance facts and much more.
In 2015 Jerry Evans condensed these 3 documents into one with the highlights of the past 66 years.
