       Designating October 12, 2026, as ``National Loggers Day''.

Whereas the logging industry has served as an economic driver and cultural 
        tradition in the United States for centuries;
Whereas the logging industry creates rural jobs and provides revenue for local 
        and State governments and National forests;
Whereas loggers provide renewable material for products used by people in the 
        United States every day;
Whereas loggers are the first link in the $288,000,000 domestic forest products 
        supply chain;
Whereas loggers are the means by which healthy forest management plans are 
        accomplished;
Whereas logging provides for healthy forests, which--

    (1) create and maintain vital wildlife habitats;

    (2) protect watersheds;

    (3) provide young forests that sequester carbon for cleaner air;

    (4) provide social wellbeing and public recreational opportunities; and

    (5) reduce loss of life and property from wildfires;

Whereas logging provides for healthy forests through regeneration and 
        conservation, including by planting 2,500,000,000 trees annually; and
Whereas innovative clean energy solutions and clean energy jobs are part of the 
        energy future of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate designates October 12, 2026, as 
``National Loggers Day''.
