ArtBreak: Logging in Alabama

/ Virtual Programs

 

Inspired by Clare Leighton’s work and the twelve industries she highlighted in her Wedgwood commission, this ArtBreak speaks to the logging industry in Alabama. Join us for a virtual conversation with Jeff Moon, executive director of Alabama Loggers Council (ALC) about the ways logging has contributed to the state. ALC works to enhance the public image of logging and the forest industry as a whole. In addition to its advocacy, ALC’s activities include the development of safety programs and providing logger education and training.
