Council Loggers Jubilee

10/12/2026

Happy National Loggers Day!

Today, the American Loggers Council recognizes the hardworking men and women who help keep our forests healthy, support rural communities, and supply the wood that becomes products we use every day.

From family businesses spanning generations to young loggers building their careers, your skill, dedication, and pride in your work keep this industry moving forward.

Thank you to the logging crews and businesses across the country, and the families behind them. We’re proud to represent you.

When neighbors come together, incredible things happen. ❤️🌲🪵

The Council Loggers Jubilee is proud to have donated nearly EIGHT cords of firewood rounds to help revive the **Adams County Senior Firewood Program**—a program that will help ensure local seniors have safe, reliable heat during the winter months.

This wouldn't have been possible without the incredible generosity of **Mahon Logging, JC Tucker, and Marcus Lucas**, who donated the logs used during our Jubilee events and then the Jubilee Board dedicated those rounds to this important cause.

A special thank you also goes to Jubilee Board Member Hannah Combs for her vision and hard work in helping make this project a reality, and to Carol Walsh, Adams County Emergency Manager, whose leadership has been instrumental in bringing this vital program back.

This is what the Council Loggers Jubilee is all about—celebrating our logging heritage while giving back to the community we love. Thanks to the collaboration of local businesses, volunteers, county leadership, and state and federal partners, this program is once again able to serve Adams County seniors.

We're honored to be a small part of such a meaningful effort and grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Together, we're strengthening our community—one load of firewood at a time. ❤️
