Working In The Woods


Swedish native Soren Eriksson's renowned "Game of Logging" course and regional/national competitions bring loggers together to hone their technique, practice safety and efficiency skills, and compete against one another.  

At Hull Forest Products, the loggers who harvest the timber that becomes your wide plank floor or post and beam home are highly skilled woodsmen ranging from part-time horse loggers to full-time mechanized logging crews. Together with our foresters, they work to bring you sustainably harvested wood.

 
Here are some of the recent accomplishments of our woods professionals:

HFP contractor Paul Burke of Dayville, CT won the 2006 National Game of Logging Championship for his skills in precision felling, limbing, bucking, precision bore cutting, and spring-pole chopping.  Paul has also completed the Southern New England Master Logger Program.

HFP contractor Lee Baxter of Harmony, RI, a logger and tree farmer, won the Rhode Island Forest Conservators "Friend of the Forest" award for his exceptional woods work, harvesting timber in a manner that protects and enhances the value of the forest. Lee has also completed the Master Logger Program.  In 2007 Lee was lauded for his outstanding harvesting work in the Yale University School Forest.
