Continuing Logger Education

As new technology and improved information are becoming available on an almost daily basis in forestry as well as other industries, continuing education has been identified as an important component of an effective logger education program. Continuing Logger Education (CLE) is flexible and may be tailored to meet the professional development needs of the individual Master Timber Harvester.

Technical colleges, universities, professional associations, and other organizations offer seminars, workshops, and classes in a variety of locations at various times. For a quarterly listing of Continuing Logger Education (CLE) opportunities in Georgia, click here..
