Welcome To Libby Logger Days
Join us in celebrating the
55th Annual Libby Logger Days from
Thursday, June
20th to Sunday, June 23rd, 2013.
Logger Days is an
education based series of summer days where the local
community showcases it’s forest stewardship heritage.
Started over 60 years ago, it long been used to educate the
local population about forest management, forest management
machinery and techniques and forest management cultural
norms.
While Logger Days
serves as an educational reminder of the realities of forest
management for local people, it also serves a larger
audience in the many visitors who come from outside of the
community to learn about forestry and the forestry culture.
Since society has expressed dual desires to protect forested
lands with wise management techniques and make ecologically
sound decisions regarding the appropriate use of wood and
wood fiber items, the need to educate the public about
forests and their management has never been greater.
Professional
competitors and athletes from area state and public
university and community college forestry programs engage in
logging games that couple fun with learning for the
gathering’s audiences.
Educational
exhibits, displays and demonstrations have and will often
reflect not just current equipment and techniques but also
teach of the rich history of forest management over the last
two centuries.
Logger Days Buttons are required for entrance to Grounds. Buttons allow entrance to all festivities. Button prices are $5 in advance or $10 at the gate. Children under the age of 12 are free. Email
