Congratulations, Scott and Alvin, on this well-deserved recognition!

Scott DeMoranville and Alvin Wasson, both at Mountain View Correctional Facility in Charleston, just won the 2026 Certified Logging Professional Logger of the Year award. The pair was recognized Thursday for helping incarcerated residents build job skills through Maine's professional logging program — teaching conventional techniques while providing real timber harvesting services across the state.
