Module 25
The NCFA’s ProLogger program consists of a continuing
education element that requires ProLoggers to participate
in one three-hour course on an annual basis. This course
is a uniform production that is distributed throughout the state
to participating companies and foresters interested in helping
ProLoggers keep their status in the program. Module 25 will be
available in January 2025 and will include the following topics:
• Wetlands Road Construction
• Business of Logging Part 3 – Operator Efficiency
• Logging Deck Safety and Servicing Equipment
• Logging Best Business Practices
• Dash Cameras
Be sure to visit our online classroom to stay up to
date and access the course when it’s available!
