Based in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, J. Carey Logging provides cut-to-length logging, chipping and biomass production services, residential and commercial excavating services, and vegetation and brush control. The company was founded in 1980 as a part-time operation by Jim Carey, an employee of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, eventually going full-time four years later with ten employees.
According to Ryan Carey, Operations Manager and son of the founder, the logging industry has had to overcome misconceptions in a society increasingly concerned with conservation and protecting the environment. “The mentality back then was that logging was bad,” he says. “Dad made it his goal to change the perception of the logging industry and loggers overall.”
J. Carey Logging is committed to helping its customers properly harvest and manage their property’s natural resources to reap its ongoing benefits. As the company’s website states, “Trees are crops; if not utilized, they grow old and eventually die. They need management to keep them healthy and valuable.”
