| What is NYLT? |
 |
 New York Logger Training (NYLT) is a cooperative effort of timber harvesters, forest industry, government, educators, and foresters working together to deliver resources that will allow loggers to learn environmentally sound practices and improved skills, enabling a safer means to
greater productivity, increased profitability, and a better quality of life.
NYLT was incorporated in 1994 as a non-profit organization, allowing it to function with a clear mission and focus, and making the program responsible for its own financial viability. Public training grants have allowed us to subsidize the costs of several courses, and registration fees are designed to cover direct workshop expenses. Contributions from Supporters and Sponsors have allowed the program to continue for nearly 10 years.
A volunteer Board of Directors oversees the activities of NYLT. The Board has a diverse make-up, with timber harvesters having the most representation of any group. Regional Chairs are also represented on the Board, thereby assuring input from all parts of the state. The Board of Directors meets several times a year to decide on program direction and design.
