The TLA was formed to give the independent loggers a collective voice in the changes taking place in society and the forest industry, as well as to share information about newly developing logging machines, methods, and technology.
Today, the TLA is a strong and unifying voice for the coastal forest community and represents its over 400 member companies by promoting the viability and sustainability of the coastal forest industry, in policy development, by fostering effective communication and ensuring a dynamic organization that addresses the evolving needs of its members.
