Foresters are tree experts, especially those trees that grow in woods, forests and orchards. They identify species of trees and determine how to care for them, which may include marking them to be cut down, or planting more trees. Being a forester may include evaluating trees’ health and long term prospects, or appraising them in terms of their value as lumber or firewood. Foresters also deal with managing the forest ecosystem, including wild animals that are part of the ecosystem. Some foresters work for lumber mills or large orchards, many work for the state or the federal government or state and national parks. Foresters often are responsible for managing large tracts of timber owned by lumber or paper companies, and that often means managing Natural Resources other than timber. Foresters typically have a four-year college degree in the sciences, and many go on to graduate school to earn a Master’s or Ph.D. degree in forestry. There are a few accredited two-year Associates degree programs in forestry as well. Foresters need to have a strong interest in trees, and in the plants and animals that are part of the forest. They need to be strongly interested in the natural sciences, observant and detail-oriented, and willing to work outdoors in all sorts of climates and weather. Foresters may be involved in fighting fires. Foresters need to be able to deal with the public, including not only other foresters, but woodworkers, lumber workers, corporation representatives, and timber companies. Start preparing for a career in forestry during high school by taking classes in sciences, especially Biology, environmental sciences, botany and zoology. During college, you may major in forestry, environmental science, or botany. Foresters increasingly are expected to use advanced technology, ranging from hand-held GPS units to complicated computerized mapping systems. The Society of American Foresters is a great place for information about what foresters do, and how to prepare for a career in forestry.
