Qualified Logger Program was established in 2001 as an approved program of the State Implementation Committee of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). They are partners with various public/private organizations, (including Region Two Adult Education) industry firms and state agencies bringing important safety, business and environmental training to Maine's loggers. Their training and certification mandate has been primarily to small and independent loggers who might not otherwise seek out this type of training.
The purpose of the program is to provide training to men and women whose livelihood depends on their health and the health of the forest. QLP training is intended to result in a forest related workforce that is accident free, economically sound and environmentally friendly. QLP issues certification to all who meet the programs' requirements after an interview and field assessment.
