Restricting the practice of professional forestry to foresters helps ensure proper stewardship of BC s forest lands. I practice ethically at all times.
Foresters are as professional as doctors, lawyers and engineers.
The discipline process adequately contributes to protection of the public interest. The current two year work experience requirement for enrollees is adequate. Council should be empowered to take positions on forest policy issues on behalf of the membership. I believe the public considers foresters to be competent. Forest management could be improved through greater reliance on professional judgement.
