Colby Woodsmen Team ...
This team of students practices old-time logging skills as part of a coed athletic club from Colby College. The team competes in about five intercollegiate meets each year. Some of the classic lumberjack events have been log rolling, box, crosscut and single sawing, chopping (horizontal and vertical), water boiling, and ax throwing. Spectators are frequently invited to try their hand at these skills!

Certified Logging Professional and the Game of Logging ...
Since 1991, the Certified Logging Professional (CLP) program has promoted and recognized professionalism among loggers. As of 2006, approximately 5,300 Maine loggers have attended the CLP program. Curriculum includes safety, production felling techniques, safe and efficient wood harvesting, forest management and silviculture, business of logging and first aid for loggers.
In 1994 the “Game of Logging” was incorporated into the CLP program. Since that time this training system has become the standard for logger training nationwide. At this training, loggers develop skills to insure that trees fall in the right place, at the right time.

The “Game of Logging” competition is the culmination of the four day training program where the best of the best compete for a share of a total prize package of $6,000. Events include saw chain filing, speed cut, bore cut, precision stump, spring pole, precision bucking and precision felling.
The winners for 2009 were:
1st - Ron Gosselin (Quebec)
2nd - Chumy Greatorex (Maine)
3rd - Rene Valcourt (Maine)
Congratulations gentlemen!
Log-A-Load for Kids ...

Established in 1988, Log-A-Load for Kids is a nationwide giving program which brings the dedication and generosity of the nation's loggers and other forest products people to raising funds for local children's hospitals associated with the Children's Miracle Network (CMN).
One Hundred percent of all contributions go directly to local hospitals. There are active sponsoring organizations in 33 states. In 2005, the Forest Products Community contributed $3.8 million to CMN. Since 1988 they have contributed $26 million to CMN.
At each Forest Heritage Days celebration, we raffle off a chainsaw and a chainsaw carved bear to raise our money. At FHD 2009 we also added a chain saw carved eagle and raised $1000 dollars!
