Oregon top logging firms include Roseburg, Klamath Falls operations
Award winners consistently exceed requirements to help forest health, board of forestry says The Oregon Board of Forestry recently selected three logging companies as Operator of the Year for their regions. Lone Rock Logging, based in Roseburg, was the Operator of the Year for Southwest Oregon. Wood River Timber, headquartered in Klamath Falls, was Eastern Oregon’s award winner. Iron Horse Logging out of Mapleton, was the Northwest Oregon Operator of the Year. The awards are given to forestry companies that protect natural resources and improve forest health at a level that consistently meets or exceeds requirements of the Oregon Forest Practices Act. Videos on each of the winners can be viewed online at https://www.oregon.gov/odf/Working/Pages/default.aspx. Forward-thinking and technology-driven Aaron Bunt, logging supervisor for Lone Rock Logging, said the company was one of the first in the region to use tethered cutting and also switched to grapple logging in recent years.
