Planning for the Ukiah conference is now underway. Spaces are available, it is never too early to register. For booth information
please call the office in Eureka.
We hope to sponsor seminars again this year to help loggers receive credit for their PRO LOGGER certification. If you have suggestions, please contact the RRLC office. We also are interested in sponsoring seminars on other relevant topics for others involved in our industry.
We anticipate again this year will be the "Portable Sawmill Demonstration". This was a very exciting crowd pleaser last year.
The Future Farmers of America (FFA) High School Forest will attend the conference. This contest challenges High School students throughout the region in ten areas of general forestry practice. These events include making measurements of trees, use of basic forestry tools, such as the hand compass, diameter tape, and clinometers. Skills will be tested in pacing, map reading, table interpretations, and identification of tools, plants, trees and lumber. Scholarships are awarded for first, second and third place finishers.
All agree last years conference was an excellent, well attended and successful event. About 1600 school children came to the conference on education day to see the Lumberjack Show. "Wild Things" was there with their mountain lion and other cool critters. Several portable sawmill vendors ran their mills for potential buyers. Antique logging equipment and other old machines were displayed, many of them running. Chainsaw carvers produced incredible works of art that were sold at various auctions during the conference. A multitude of vendors were on hand to discuss their products and display their wares. So if you have an interest in logging, come see us in March!
