Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Western Editor Dan Shell visits HITREE Logging located in Andalusia, Alabama. Providing a specialized service for landowners to deliver more timberland value, HITREE Logging offers a light footprint to access hard-to-get timber stands, with the equipment and operational know-how to go where conventional logging companies can’t. The company, formed in early 2015, is a partnership between swamp logging veteran Jay Huber and IndusTREE Logging, created after Huber’s swamp logging operation needed a capital infusion, and IndusTREE managers saw an opportunity to access low-ground timber in a region with plenty of it. “It was an opportunity to develop a niche market while being able to generate logs for our Castleberry mill,” says Lee Davis, Vice President of IndusTREE, which operates a large procurement organization, a logging company, three sawmills and a pole mill.
