Prepare to develop your science skills, work out in the forests, and also to relocate to wherever the jobs are. Sharpen your communication and public relation skills.
Forestry falls under the larger professional heading of "Recreation Workers." According to one report, full time entry-level recreation workers can expect a starting salary of approximately $14,150. In terms of age and experience level, as of 2009 3.5% of all recreation workers have a master's degree, 12.9% have a bachelor's degree, 10.4% have an associate degree, and 23.3% have some college but no degree. 28.8% have a high school diploma or equivalent, so it's a good idea to at least finish high school or earn a GED before embarking on this career.
Beacuse trees are stupid ! they make good chairs though ;)
it depends on the closeness of the degrees. the difference between a soils degree and a forestry degree was 23 credits in my case. another 17 credits got my land use planning degree. i still need about 100 credits for a business degree
Many people think of foresters as people who save campers, or walk in the woods, or fish a lot. This is far from the truth. For more information on forestry look here http://forestry.about.com/cs/employment/a/b_a_forester1.htm
Forestry is good for the environment because trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, helping to mitigate climate change. Forests also provide habitat for wildlife, protect watersheds, and promote biodiversity. Sustainable forestry practices can help ensure that forests remain healthy and continue to provide these environmental benefits for future generations.
forestry is the cutting down and replanting of trees.
