The ProLogger program was started in 1994. In a cooperative effort directed by the NCFA, Forestry Mutual Insurance Company, the North Carolina Department of Labor, North Carolina State Highway Patrol, and the North Carolina Forest Service share teaching responsibilities during the ProLogger base course. The ProLogger program promotes three pillars of success including safety, business, and environmental awareness. Anyone who want to become a ProLogger certified must complete the base course, which includes one day of classroom discussion and one field day.
In order to ensure all certified Prologgers are up to date on all recent issues, each ProLogger must take an annual continuing education module to remain a ProLogger in good standing. The annual module classes are offered at various locations, hosted by member companies, throughout the state and online, via Prolearn. The ProLogger year runs from July 1st to June 30th
Training for the 2023-2024 year will begin in January of 2023. The required course is Module 23, which is available for purchase at the NCFA office.For questions about the ProLogger Program contact Mike Powell at (919) 834-3943 ext. 4.
