American Loggers Council

American Loggers Council is a for-profit corporate entity registered in SAM.gov, located in Deer Lodge, Montana, with a current registration valid through January 2026. The organization appears to be a trade association or industry advocacy group focused on supporting timber industry operations and forest management practices. Its federal grant awards indicate a strategic focus on forestry, transportation, and biomass utilization projects that support sustainable forest management and wildfire risk mitigation.

The organization has received multiple significant federal grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, primarily targeting forest management and transportation initiatives. Their most substantial award is a $7,007,455 Cooperative Agreement under the Inflation Reduction Act Hazardous Fuels Transportation Assistance program, which supports the transportation and processing of timber, biomass, and forest management byproducts to reduce wildfire risks. Additionally, they have been awarded a Biomass Transportation Incentive Pilot grant and a project grant aimed at improving the public image and acceptance of the timber industry. These grants, ranging from project-specific initiatives to broader transportation and public perception efforts, demonstrate American Loggers Council's role in facilitating forest management, supporting timber industry logistics, and enhancing industry communication strategies across the Rocky Mountain region.

The American Loggers Council (ALC) is the only national organization solely dedicated to representing the rights and interests of independent loggers and log truck contractors (members) on a national level. ALC combines the power of its members with state and regional logging associations across the country to impact our industry positively and proactively by sharing the benefits of education, training, networking, research, promotion, and legislative advocacy.
