The Clatsop County Safety Council started over fifty years ago as the Timber Operator's
Council and is the oldest, continuous, logging association in the Northwest. It started as a means
for independent logging contractors to work alongside union interests and has since turned into a
group that represents all logging related businesses. Most members belong to the Association of
Oregon Loggers, and they meet monthly to review safety issues that affect the industry.

We are looking for seniors who aspire to work in the natural resource industry by
acquiring a degree in Forestry or one of the fields that support our industry.
