"The Southern Loggers Best Friend"
Published 12 times a year in a tabloid format, with forest family-friendly outreach, on-site logger interviews and profiles, and flavorful blend of information and entertainment, Southern Loggin’ Times is the most popular publication that focuses on the forest-rich South.
Current Issue
This month, SLT is focusing on the future of logging with feature stories profiling three of the bright young men taking up the mantle for the next generation. South Carolina’s Rick Bennett and Louisiana’s Thomas Johnson both grew up around longtime logging families, but only just started their own companies last year. Meanwhile, Tennessee’s Zachary Comer has a similar multigenerational timber pedigree but has been on his own a little longer, since 2016. It’s a difficult time to start logging, but these three are meeting the challenge.
