The Forest Resources Assn. (FRA) has honored Aaron Street of Aaron Street Logging from Sinks Grove, WV, as the 2024 Appalachian Region Outstanding Logger Award winner at FRA’s 2024 Joint Appalachian & Southeastern Region/Forest Products Security Group Fall Meeting held in Greensboro, NC.

Annually, they produce 2,000,000 BF of sawlogs and 35,000 tons of pulpwood and other products. Most of their work is on commercially owned timberland in West Virginia.
