2022 Oregon Logging Conference slated for February at Lane County Convention Center in Eugene

You can begin planning for the 2022 Oregon Logging Conference (OLC), which is scheduled to be held February 24-26 at the Lane County Convention Center and Fairgrounds in Eugene, Ore. Registration information for the largest logging show west of the Mississippi will be posted to the OLC’s website (www. oregonloggingconference.com) in September. Registered companies will receive two credits toward their professional logger certifications for attending the show.

Attendees can participate in hands-on training seminars and earn as many as 11 professional logger credits/8 SAF-CFE credits, view the latest logging technology and construction equipment on display, network and socialize with forestry professionals from around the world, and participate in the 12th Annual Log Loader Competition, which you can register for on their website. Show hours are scheduled for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Next year’s Oregon Logging Conference (OLC) is scheduled to be held February 24-26, 2022 at the Lane County Convention Center and Fairgrounds in Eugene, Ore. While this year’s show was not held in person, you can still earn professional logging credits through the OLC’s website (www.oregonloggingconference.com).

You can still earn credits for this year

This year’s show was not held in person, but you can still earn Pro-Logger credits this year by watching pre-recorded OLC seminars and panel discussions through their website. A total of nine credits can be earned by watching all five sessions. Three credits will be forest practices. A $25 registration fee allows you to watch all seminars/panel discussions.

Once registered, you will be sent a confirmation email that includes seminar topics and the video link to a private page on the OLC YouTube channel, as well as procedures for viewing. The email will also include a downloadable credit validation form and quiz materials, which must be completed after viewing each seminar/panel discussion and returned to the Associated Oregon Loggers or your state association. The videos will be available for viewing through June 30. ■
