"What a difference a drone makes. What used to take a logger two days of stringing lines can now take minutes. At a Bighorn Logging site, deep in the Oregon forest, operations are running like clockwork. On a landing above a canyon, a big machine called a yarder is hauling up felled trees."

Swinging success: Oregon’s Bighorn Logging commits to innovation: "For Harve Dethlefs, president and founder of Banks, Ore.-based Bighorn Logging Corp., logging has been part of his life since he was a child."

BANKS, Ore. "Long-time logger Harve Dethlefs, who came to the woods as a sec- ond career, has earned a well-deserved reputation for reliable, quality work while guiding a can-do logging company that has become a multifaceted venture able to handle different harvesting applications."

On an Oregon Coast Range ridge, the future of forest management takes root: "Some believe any logging is destructive others believe any restrictions are nonsense. But after long years of environmental, economic and political paralysis, the logjam may be breaking."

The Challenges of Change: "After nearly 35 years in the logging business, Harve Dethlefs has grown accustomed to the challenges of change that began on the first day he fired up a chainsaw as his own boss. Dethlefs started out logging following his retirement after 20 years as a warehouse manager for Tektronix Inc."
