TIMBER'S TOUGHEST ARE BACK! "AMERICAN LOGGERS" RETURNS FRIDAY MARCH 4, 10PM E/P ON DISCOVERY

(Silver Spring, Md.) The Pelletier brothers are back and ready to face the harsh wilderness of Maine's northern woods, fighting the elements and each other to continue their family's timber business in AMERICAN LOGGERS, premiering Friday, March 4 at 10PM (ET/PT) on Discovery Channel.

"AMERICAN LOGGERS continues Discovery's blockbuster Friday nights, bringing characters with grit, families with issues and stories that pull you in and keep you glued," said Clark Bunting, President and General Manager, Discovery Channel

This season the stakes are raised as the Pelletier family undergoes a new business endeavor in constructing their own logging trailers -- a highly risky venture. While dealing with a new major investment, the brothers battle the elements that leave them in dangerous working environments. As they decide to venture further still into the hundreds of miles of untouched woods, they have only their ingenuity to get through each obstacle they are faced with between nature and machine.

At its heart AMERICAN LOGGERS is about family bonds and this season logging continues to run deep in the family's blood with four of the brothers' sons going into the business. Danny's son Mathew jumps right into the driver's seat while Jason, Aaron and Dustin all learn the ropes with their toughest critic - Dad - always over their shoulder.

AMERICAN LOGGERS is produced for Discovery Channel by Half Yard Productions. Abby Greensfelder and Sean Gallagher are Executive Producers. Greg Smith is the Series Producer. Josh Berkley is Executive Producer for Discovery Channel.
