Logging Sports teams from Oregon to San Luis Obispo will compete in the 5th Annual John Iversen Invitational Lumberjack Competition. In 2023, the RRLC board unanimously decided to honor former president John Iversen by renaming the annual lumberjack competition. John was dedicated to the timber industry, the RRLC, his community, and, most importantly, his family. He is missed by so many, but his legacy continues. RRLC is honored to offer a lumberjack competition in John's name.
