If you work in the forest industry of northern Maine, chances are you know Mike! As the owner of White Oak Inc., he's just as likely to be on the job or moving wood as he is in the office. Before sunrise and after sunset, Mike's out there keeping things moving.

Congratulations Leo!

Welcome Leo Huhta to the Michigan Association of Timbermen board of directors!

The Michigan Association of Timbermen is a not-for-profit 501c6 organization, taking direction from a volunteer board of directors from all over the State. The Board recently appointed Leo Huhta, owner of Waldo Logs and Huhta Logging to serve our western UP region. Here's a note from Leo:

"Dear MAT Members and Industry Partners,

I am honored to recently be appointed to the Michigan Association of Timbermen Board of Directors to represent Region 1 in the western UP. As a logger from Chassell who was born and raised in a logging family, the forest products industry has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

In 2006, my wife Tina and I started Huhta Logging, giving me firsthand experience with the daily challenges we face in the woods and reinforcing how critical strong communication and coordination are among loggers, truckers, foresters, landowners, and mills. That work eventually led us to start Waldo Solutions, where I currently work and serve on the board, collaborating with industry partners across Michigan and nationwide.

Over the past few years, I’ve taken on a more active role in broader industry advocacy through my involvement with the Logging Contractors (PLC) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Working alongside these organizations has given me a deep appreciation for the policy, certification, and market trends shaping our industry at both the state and national levels.

While these leadership roles have broadened my perspective on where the forest sector is headed, I will always evaluate issues through the eyes of the person working in the woods.

I care deeply about keeping Michigan’s forests working. On the MAT Board, my focus is on supporting strong logging businesses, healthy mills and markets, and ensuring our boots-on-the-ground workforce has a firm voice in every decision that affects our livelihoods.

I look forward to serving you, listening to your ideas and concerns, and working together to keep MAT and Michigan’s timber industry strong. Please feel free to reach out anytime.

Best regards,

Leo Huhta,
Chassell, MI
Huhta Logging & Waldo Solutions"

I’ll be attending the FSC U.S. Annual Conference in Seattle next week. I’m looking forward to meeting with the FSC team and industry partners to continue the conversation on how digital load tracking, wood traceability, and shared records can support responsible forestry and stronger markets.

If you’re also attending, please reach out. I’d be glad to connect.
