People whose job is to cut down trees and prepare logs for use as lumber or other products.
From 'log' (a piece of felled tree) + the agent suffix '-er.' The word 'log' may derive from Old Norse 'lag' or possibly from the shape of logs used as measuring devices on ships.
Modern logging has a huge environmental impact, but historically loggers were essential to human civilization—they built our homes, ships, and cities. Today's forestry science tries to balance harvesting with conservation.
