Logger Training
The Timber Operations Professional (TOP) Program and Workshops are the South Carolina Forestry Association’s commitment to raising the professional standard of timber harvesting. TOP is designed to improve safety, efficiency, and environmental protection.
The three-day TOP Program provides the latest information on timber harvesting, safety, business, and environmental regulations. The course is tailored primarily for owners and job foremen of logging and site preparation operations, foresters, and landowners. The TOP Program is supplemented by one-day Workshops addressing specific aspects of timber operations.
Since its beginning in 1994, over 3,600 people have graduated from TOP Programs and Workshops -- including loggers, foresters, landowners, and many other forest-related professionals.
