We believe in responsible, sustainable forestry.

Logging gets a bad wrap. The truth is this: Thriving markets and responsible timber harvesting leads to better managed forests and more forested acres.

FSC^® Certified

As a FSC^® certified wood supplier, we care deeply about our role in sustainable forestry and are ready and able to connect FSC^®-certified tracts of timber to market.

Since becoming FSC^®-certified in 2017, Bellwether crews have harvested and delivered over 50,000 tons of FSC^® timber.

Other Associations

Responsible Forestry

TOP Certified Crews

Each logging crew and all timber buyers at Bellwether complete the Timber Operations Professional (TOP) training through the Forestry Association of South Carolina.

Best Management Practices

Our timber buyers, managers, foreman, and loggers are trained in—and take seriously—forestry BMPs to ensure tracts are harvested sustainably, responsibly, and efficiently.

Registered Foresters

Our timber buyers understand the total forestry picture—before, during, and after harvest.

Safety As A Priority

In the Woods

Logging can be dangerous if done irresponsibly, but very safe if done right. We have a top track record in logging safety thanks to responsible people and solid processes.

On the Road

Every unit in our fleet is equipped with a dash camera and GPS. Every driver in our fleet is screened, drug tested, road tested, and safety trained. We have no greater responsibility than safe roads.

Security and Accountability

Digital Load Tracking

Every Bellwether load is entered in our digital load tracking system and can be seen in real-time. Each load contains the coordinates where it was loaded so there are no questions.

In-House Security Tagging

For clients without their own security process, we provide our own unique ID security tagging process.

GPS Transport Logs

24/7 GPS logs for our entire company fleet give us the ability to pair any load assigned to a driver with its complete route, destination and timing.
