North Carolina's logging force is part of a supply chain heavily influenced by overall economic downturns impacting housing and related wood construction materials. Ebbs and flows in finished paper and raw fluff demand worldwide are also influential. Nearly 30% of NC’s logging force was sidelined over a five year period. This trend began reversing in NC beginning in 2012. Factors influencing logger recovery from new and expanding markets, forest landowner commitment and broader logging business opportunities will be highlighted. Key leverage areas involving the need for skilled forest equipment operators and dependable trucking will be emphasized.
