commerical logging operations in Kentucky. If you have graduated from a logger
education program in another state you may be eligible to apply for
Kentucky Master Logger status. Kentucky currently has reciprocity agreements
with Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
Reciprocity will be considered for loggers that have had
appropriate training in chainsaw safety and directional felling, best management
practices for water quality protection, and adult CPR and First Aid.

logger education courses as follows:

After verification and approval of your logger training the Master Logger

and you will be receiving a Kentucky Master Logger designation card, a copy
of the Kentucky Master Logger Training Notebook (which includes information
on Kentucky's laws and other logger training reference material) and appropriate
