We cannot help solve this problem unless we learn more about the forest and its importance to us in our daily lives. Forestry is many things. Forestry is all of these things and more. Forestry students study for years in college, then work for years as foresters, and never stop learning about forestry. Though there is much to learn about forestry, it is a subject you can enjoy while you learn.
Foresters work in many different forestry-related jobs.
Foresters are employed by many different organizations. Each organization or company has different forestry practices, and even foresters within the same organization may have different responsibilities. One forester may be concerned only with planting trees while another may work every day planning and supervising the harvest of trees. Professional foresters are concerned with trees, soils, watersheds, rangelands, wildlife, and recreation. Some foresters may spend most of their time in the forest making decisions that will affect the growth of forests for many years in the future.
