About Erwin Resource Service

What is ERS?

Welcome to Erwin Resource Service (ERS) – a legacy of excellence in logging and resource management that spans over five decades. Founded in 1969 by Lathan Erwin in the heart of Fordyce, AR, ERS has evolved from a humble workshop at Lathan's home to a thriving family enterprise, deeply rooted in a commitment to quality, integrity, and community service.


In the early years, Lathan Erwin pioneered the company, single-handedly operating with chainsaws to cut short pulp wood and tractors to move it. His dedication and hard work laid the foundation for what would become a multi-generational family business. As time progressed, Lathan's three sons, Greg, Jamie, and Jeremy, joined the ranks, transforming ERS into a true family endeavor.

A family passion

The Erwin brothers started by maintaining equipment in their backyard, eventually transitioning to working side by side with their father in the woods. Together, they navigated the challenges of the logging industry, honing their skills and building a reputation for excellence. Through their collective efforts, the family not only preserved Lathan's legacy but propelled ERS to new heights.

Future Growth for Erwin Resource Service

In 2018, recognizing the importance of continuity, the Erwin family officially established Erwin Resource Service III LLC. This strategic move ensured that the values instilled by Lathan would endure, and the family business would thrive for generations to come. Today, ERS stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of a family committed to hard work, innovation, and community impact.


At ERS , we take pride in our rich history and the values that have guided us through the years. Our team remains dedicated to providing top-notch logging and resource services with unwavering integrity. As we continue to grow and evolve, our commitment to serving the community remains steadfast, making ERS your trusted partner for sustainable resource management.
