It's been called the worst of times for logging. However, the best of times may be right around the corner thanks to an impending demand for alternative fuel sources from forest products. Fourth-generation logger John Lane of Coastal Logging Company,Inc. believes he may be in the heart of the changes. Lane was nominated by Georgia-Pacific, and selected as 2006 Georgia Logger of the Year by Georgia Forestry Assn., as well as South-eastern Wood Producers Assn. Georgia Logger of the Year 2006. The award is given to companies that have shown outstanding commitment to responsible forest practices and their efforts to promote the practice of sustainable forestry. He's been subcontracting for G-P since 1988.
