While working alongside his father, Scott gained valuable skills and logging experience. He later recognized a need for a local full-service logging company that could assist private landowners in maximizing the potential of their tree farms. In 1989, he partnered with his cousin Mark to establish Levanen Inc., which is dedicated to fulfilling this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Word spread quickly among landowners about the quality of Levanen Inc.&#8217;s services. The growing demand the company was experiencing resulted in a need for expansion of its workforce and equipment. This enabled them to take on larger logging projects. To sustain such growth, Levanen Inc. diversified their services, offering logging operations to both public and private timberlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, Levanen Inc. has evolved into a well-rounded organization through partnerships with large landowners such as New England Forestry. These partners share a commitment to safer, more efficient, and technologically-advanced harvesting timber methods via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/winch-assisted-logging-boosts-safety-on-steep-terrain\/\">cable assist<\/a> and hydraulic grapple logging systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott\u2019s father once advised him, saying, \u201cSurround yourself with great people, and things will go well.\u201d Thanks to this advice, Scott attributes his success to the partnerships, employees, vendors, and clients he has worked with over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Levanen Inc. is owned and operated by Scott with the help of his two sons, Dale and Loren. In the future, Dale and Loren hope to purchase the company, carrying on the family legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sevier-logging\"><strong>Sevier Logging, LLC, Olympia, Washington<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Savier.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3681\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Savier.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Savier-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-Savier-768x493.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jeff Sevier, right, works alongside his son Justin, left, in their logging company that has been in business more than 70 years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sevier Logging, LLC, is owned and operated by Jeff Sevier and his son, Justin.

Justin, Jeff\u2019s son, has been actively involved in the company for the past decade, working alongside his father and preparing to take ownership in the near future. \u201cWorking alongside my dad has been invaluable as I learn the ropes,\u201d says Justin, prompting a smile from Jeff. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of Justin,\u201d says Jeff, \u201cHe has embraced a leadership role and makes good, solid decisions.

In 1976, Les, with his two brothers Craig and Larry, founded Allen Brothers Logging on the Olympic Peninsula. Initially, the company focused on serving the Quilcene and Chimacum areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Rob was growing up, he and his brother worked for their father periodically throughout their high school and young adult years. Although Rob pursued other career paths, he later returned to Allen Brothers Forest Management as a full-time logger in 2004. In response to their father&#8217;s dedication to the logging company, Rob\u2019s sons later worked for him during their high school summer breaks. This allowed them the opportunity to gain valuable experience in operations and logging equipment maintenance. As potential fourth-generation loggers, they have a promising future ahead should they choose to continue with Allen Brothers Forest Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Les and Rob share many positive outlooks when it comes to working alongside family members. They both emphasize the deep familiarity and trust between family, noting that each member treats the company as their own. As they look to the future, Les and Rob are hopeful that the younger generation will decide to return and continue the family logging legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"dm-stratton\"><strong>DM Stratton and 3D Trucking, LLC, Jacksonville, Florida<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-DM-Stratton.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3677\" width=\"840\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-DM-Stratton.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-DM-Stratton-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neforestrydistribution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Blog-DM-Stratton-768x515.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left to right, Dillon Stratton II, Dillion Stratton I and Dillon Stratton III are the family behind DM Stratton and 3D Trucking LLC in Jacksonville, Florida. \/ Photo courtesy of DM Stratton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Stratton family in Jacksonville, Florida, the common name between Dillon Stratton I, Dillon Stratton II and Dillon Stratton III is only one of the similarities the three generations share.

At the time, he realized this particular career path was his true calling. Growing up in Forks, Washington, an area known for its beautiful outdoor landscape and the Olympic Peninsula, it seemed like a natural fit. Following his graduation, Dave spent 10 years logging alongside his uncle, a contractor working for New England Forestry. In 1987, he partnered with Lyn Soloman to establish Dilley &amp; Soloman Logging. Together, they experienced substantial business growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dave\u2019s son, Mike, joined the company while still in high school, dedicating his summer breaks to working in the family business. After graduating in 2000 and pursuing a college degree for 2 years at Washington State University, he decided to forego his education and work at the business instead. Over the years, Mike has gradually worked his way through every aspect of logging operations, watching the industry shift and change. Notable changes included tower and shovel logging with grapple cars, tilting shovels, and tethering bunchers. The company has encouraged and embraced innovation, attributing to its great success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dave is confident that when he retires, Mike will carry on the family legacy and achieve great success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meet Roger Smith: Owner of RL Smith Logging\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CObNnK4yKGI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Roger Smith, above, is a longtime New England Forestry logger whose family has worked in logging for almost 100 years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rl-smith\"><strong>R.L. Smith Logging, Inc., Elma, Washington<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>R.L. Smith Logging, Inc. has been in business now for 32 years, but its logging legacy dates back further than that. In 1932, Roger Smith\u2019s paternal grandfather tragically died in a logging accident, leaving his wife and five young sons behind. Due to the accident, the family decided to set the logging industry aside for a while. But in 1980, Roger joined his uncle\u2019s company, Grandorff Bros Logging, a small business of four brothers offering logging services to the high country of Grisdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1991, an economic downturn left Roger unemployed. Thankfully, an uncle offered to sell his portion of the business, leading to the establishment of Tagman-Smith Logging, Inc. With the help and support of Dick Tagman, R.L. Smith Logging, Inc. is still thriving to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of Roger\u2019s success and dedication to the family legacy, he was able to offer his nephew, Nate Murray, an opportunity to start his own venture: Roosevelt Logging Inc. In addition, Roger has worked alongside his brothers and brother-in-law for over 20 years. Roger values the teamwork, comradery, and accomplishments he and his family have achieved over the years. Now, R.L. Smith Logging Inc. is harvesting ground they logged in their early years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is hard to imagine that our family history in the logging industry goes back almost 100 years,\u201d says Roger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>New England Forestry\u2019s Dedication to Supporting Local Family-Owned Logging Businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New England Forestry is proud to partner with these family-owned logging businesses. Founded on shared values and a deep appreciation for the forests, their knowledge of the industry and logging operations are critical to New England Forestry\u2019s mission of sustainable forest management. With logging running through their blood, each company contributes its rooted and local expertise, specialized equipment, and talented workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We value and express gratitude to each family-owned logging business represented at New England Forestry.
