WHAT IS LOG A LOAD FOR KIDS? Log A Load For Kids is a nationwide campaign through which loggers and other forest industry professionals donate the value of a load of logs, or any amount they can, to help make hospital stays easier for children. Through GLTPA, Log-A-Load charitable harvests is, first and foremost, an educational program that introduces children to forestry science, history and modern-day harvesting practices. The premise is simple: Experts in their fields – loggers, foresters, biologists, and teachers – are stationed throughout an area that has been designated for harvesting. Busloads of elementary school children arrive at the site, visit each station to learn another facet in the fascinating story of a tree-based ecosystem and hopefully take away some idea of the vast responsibility of being future stewards of the Earth and its resources. On that level alone the GLTPA’s Log-A-Load program seems to be an overwhelming success
