SEPTEMBER 28 - OCTOBER 1, 2026 • WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA
Thank you to our attendees!
Logging professionals, industry partners, families, and friends gathered in historic Williamsburg, Virginia, for the 2026 American Loggers Council Annual Conference. Hosted by the Virginia Loggers Association, this year’s gathering celebrated logging’s role in building our nation while looking ahead to the people, ideas, and opportunities shaping its future.
We know that stepping away from your business and family is a commitment. Thank you to everyone who made the trip, shared their experiences, and helped make this year’s conference a memorable one. 
Highlights from our time together included:
- Virginia's forests and history: The Logging & Industry Tour took attendees to an active logging operation at Elsing Green Plantation, Forest Pro, Inc., and Ball Lumber Co. Cultural Tour participants explored Jamestown Settlement and Colonial Williamsburg.
- Conversations about the future: Educational sessions covered business and succession planning, timber markets, technology, workforce development, transportation, and forest policy. Young Leaders also gathered to connect, exchange ideas, and help shape the next generation of logging leadership.
- Generosity that makes a difference: Our annual Log A Load for Kids auction raised $69,775 for Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters. Thank you to the donors, bidders, volunteers, and sponsors who made this incredible contribution possible!
We also celebrated individuals and businesses making a difference in our industry:

2025 alc annual conference "Geaux (go) logging"
SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2025 • LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA
Thank you to our attendees!
For those who earn their living in the forest industry, any time away from the woods, office, and family is a big commitment - and we are yet again humbled by how many put the “you” in the BaYOU at the 2025 ALC Annual Conference in Lafayette, Louisiana September 17-19, 2025.
From ALC members and industry partners across the nation, to Louisiana’s local and state representatives, the logging community (and those who love and honor them) showed up ready to “GEAUX Logging” and keep driving our industry forward.
This year's hosts - the Louisiana Loggers Association, the Louisiana Logging Council, and the Southern Loggers Cooperative - welcomed us with unmatched southern charm.
- Wednesday's comradery was seasoned with the creole flavor of live zydeco music
. - Thursday's industry tour
took participants from an active logging job to a state-of-the-art RoyOMartin OSB plant and back again - while some opted for the 
graceful Rip Van Winkle Gardens on Jefferson Island or 
galavantin' with gators on an airboat across the Atchafalaya Basin. - Thursday evening, participants went BIG in the Big Easy at our annual Log-A-Load for Kids auction event - raising an OUTSTANDING
$61,905 that will be distributed to the 5 local Louisiana Children's Miracle Network hospitals! - Friday we got down to business, having conversations rooted in the woods and exploring innovative ways to branch out and grow as an industry and amplify our impact.
Together, we honored those making a difference in our profession:
- 2025 National Activist of the Year - Toni McAllister
Executive Director, Louisiana Loggers Association - 2025 Logging Business of the Year - VanDusen Timber Corp. of Hallsville, Texas
- 2025 Log-A-Load Volunteer of the Year - Ericson Logging of Minong, Wisconsin
And we thanked our outgoing President, Mike (and Vicki) Albrecht for their two years of leadership and welcomed Dave Cupp as he took up the gavel.
We look forward to celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday with YOU at next year’s conference in Colonial Williamsburg, VA – Sept. 28–Oct. 1, 2026!
Thank you to our 2025 sponsors!
