Next Generation Logging
Next Generation Logging is a multi-generational, family owned and operated company located in beautiful North Idaho. We specialize in providing forestry, land management, and wildfire mitigation services to both residential and commercial clients. Our passion for the great outdoors drives us to help our clients protect and preserve the health of their land. We have seen and understand the devastation wildfires and unhealthy forests can inflict upon one’s investment. Our hope is that we can educate and participate in the management of land in our community and the area we all call home.
As the “Next Generation” of loggers, our team works tirelessly at fulfilling our motto of:
“Ensuring a Forest for Tomorrow”
Austin
Austin is our owner/operator. Growing up in the woods of North Idaho, Austin developed a strong desire to keep the land green, growing, and vibrant. Austin ventured into Wildland Fire Fighting. This sparked a passion for helping others to prevent wildfire devastation. He loves to share his knowledge within communities.
His love for the preservation of healthy, managed land grew into a company. Next Generation Logging was started as a family owned and operated company, to help educate the community on how managing their land can protect it.
