Our story
A family, a crew, and a half-century in the North Woods.
Three generations out of Ashland, working the same tote roads, hauling to the same mills, and answering to the same name on the truck doors.
Since 1972
It started with one skidder.
Allagash Timber & Logging started in 1972 when Roland Belanger ran a single skidder out of a yard on the Garfield Road in Ashland. He cut what the small mills needed, hauled it himself, and built a name on showing up and doing the job straight.
Fifty-plus years later his son and grandsons run the operation — a tight crew of woodsmen who grew up on these tote roads. We've harvested some of these lots twice over, and we know which ridges hold spruce and which bottoms turn to soup in mud season.
We live where we work.
We're not a corporate outfit running shifts of strangers across the county. We're a family operation that lives in Ashland, hunts these woods, and takes it personally when a job is done right.
That's why we cut to a plan, pay landowners honest, and clean up behind ourselves. Our name is on the trucks and our family is in town — we have to be able to look our neighbors in the eye at the diner the next morning. The North Maine Woods raised us. Cutting it responsibly is how we pay it back.
