General Liability Insurance for Logging Operations
Land management strategies are always changing, but logging and timber harvesting remain evergreen components of an efficient management plan. Timber harvests help promote the health and growth of a targeted area by clearing room for new understory growth (thereby helping foster greater biodiversity), reducing competition for nutrients between untouched and often more desirable trees, and reducing the risk of wildfire. Silviculture is also useful in helping landowners meet their property goals, whether that be opening room for livestock grazing or culling pest reservoirs.
Of course, all timber harvests come with risk. Logging operations can be tricky at the best of times, even for veterans of the industry, as nature can be unpredictable. Some cast-off material from a harvest – bark, log butts, etc. – might be forgotten during clean-up, for example, and later be found to contribute to a fire that has dealt damage to the client’s property. Caught unprepared, an angry client can spell disaster for your smaller logging operation.
Professional Liability Insurance for Logging Operations
The potential financial damage that arises from harm to your contractors or regular employees, the customer, or the stand you are operating in can be intimidating, but general and professional liability insurance can help mitigate these concerns. Forest Specialty offers smaller logging operations both general and professional liability insurance (without auto) for under 30k to local, single point operations. Backed by over 15 years of experience providing small logging operations coverage, you can be certain that Forest Specialty has the expertise necessary to support your business.

There’s no planning an accident; Forest Specialty offers comprehensive, responsive general liability policies designed to make tackling the unexpected simple. Our general liability insurance protects you and your business from third-party (that is, customer or client) bodily injury and property damage claims. Advertising injury claims or other such reputational harm claims are covered under our general liability policies. Logging can be hazardous or even dangerous work – a felled tree might accidentally harm someone’s property or even the same equipment used to cut it down. Even the most careful operators will want to ensure that their business has the protection of comprehensive general liability insurance.

Insurance for Logging Operations
Sometimes called E&O insurance, professional liability insurance differs from general liability insurance in that it’s designed to protect you and your business from negligence, error and omissions, or malpractice claims that arise during the completion of a professional service. For example, professional liability insurance will protect your business from harm if unforeseen weather conditions prevent you from meeting a deadline, and the client becomes dissatisfied. Professional liability coverage empowers you to conduct your business in the way you know is best without worrying that misunderstandings, clerical errors, or a missed deadline will cause your business undo harm.
