The Kentucky Master Logger Program is designed to enhance the logger’s ability to operate efficiently within the framework of constantly changing environmental and safety regulations. ​​It is an education program that teaches logging methods that benefit both industry and the forest. It is a partnership between the University of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, the Kentucky Division of Forestry, and the Kentucky Forest Industries Association.

In 2025, over 500 master loggers will need six hours of CE (continuing education) to keep their Master Logger designation. On February 25, 2025, the Kentucky Master Logger Program will host another Logger Web TV to make obtaining these six credit hours more feasible and convenient.

Logger Web TV will be offered at the extension offices for the following counties: Boone, Breathitt, Breckinridge, Casey, Crittenden, Cumberland, Fleming, Hancock, Harlan, Monroe, Ohio, Owsley, Perry, Taylor, and Whitley. Logger Web TV will be hosted from 9 am - 4 pm EST (8 am - 3 pm CST). The class will be broken into six 50-minute segments.

The agenda will follow as:
9:00 - 9:50: Introduction, House Keeping, and Economic Update for 2024/2025
