Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell has the opportunity to visit Quality Forest Products in Forsyth, Georgia. When Deck Trevitt decided to leave the logging business in 2007 he wasn’t sure if he would ever return, but he’s now back in it and taking advantage of new opportunities in the Peach State. Trevitt, 63, a graduate of Mercer University, started Trevitt Logging in 1978 and later changed the name to Quality Forest Products to indicate the business was about more than just cutting trees. He quickly gained a reputation for being one of the most innovative loggers in the Southeast and was twice honored as Georgia’s Logger of the Year (1986 and 1997) as well as Timber Harvesting’s Logging Business of the Year in 2001. Trevitt was one of the first loggers to serve on the American Pulpwood Assn.’s Board of Directors.
