Like most loggers near the Gulf Coast, loggers Steve Mathis and sons Mark and Alan spent most of the last year dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Mathis Logging Co. has fared better than most largely because of their long-term contractorrelationship with Scotch Private Land Management Service (PLMS)—the non-industrial private landowner assistance division of Scotch Lumber Co.; headquartered in Fulton, Ala. PLMS manages about 240,000 acres of timberland in southern Mississippi and Alabama.
