JOBS IN FORESTRY

Jobs in forestry aren't just in the woods anymore. If you care passionately about forests, trees, invasive species, there are all sorts of great career opportunities to meet the fiber needs of our nation (and the world, too.)

Forestry today is much more than logging. The forests protect soils, filter our air and water and provide habitat for vast numbers of wildlife. The complex relationships between our forest lands and our urban areas mean an increasingly difficult work environment. Communication between people that use the forests for recreation and those that need the products forests produce is at an all time low. Foresters increasingly need good communication skills to educate the public about good steardship of our natural resources.

Today's foresters use a wide variety of computer applications to conduct daily business. The internet provides a finger-tip research library on all types of subjects from forest health to soil maps and watershed topography. The conservation responsibilities of the Forester is continually expanding with the needs to protect clean drinking water, slow soil eroision, integrating wildlife habitat with woodland operations. Forest biotechnology is an growing field.

This particular occupation has been a lifelong interest of my spouse. Consequently there are two sections. Be sure to check FORESTRY 2 for more job opportunities.

Also, this Forestry page has recently been translated into Russian (I think it's Russian) by Martha Ruszkowski, who asked permission to do so.
