For Kelly, responsible forestry means prioritizing proper forest care at every step, ensuring not just compliance with industry standards but the long-term health and sustainability of the land.
The Holt family’s deep connection to the timber industry dates back over 60 years to Kelly’s grandfather, Jay Holt, who began his career as a young man and later founded M&J Logging, which became Holt Logging, Inc.—a family-run business that continues to operate today. Jay was a founding member of the Associated California Loggers, and Kelly’s father, Tim Holt, served as its president in 1998.
Kelly grew up immersed in the timber industry, working alongside his grandfather and father and learning the trade from the ground up. From sweeping floors in the family shop to mastering every aspect of logging operations, he developed a deep respect for the industry’s traditions and responsibilities. Seeking to carve his own path while honoring his heritage, Kelly and his wife, Traci, founded Diversified Resources, Inc., a respected company specializing in fuel reduction services.
Guided by decades of family experience and his own expertise, Kelly continues to lead with a commitment to safety, efficiency, and environmental stewardship. His dedication ensures that the values and traditions of the Holt family remain at the heart of modern forestry practices.
