This is the first class in the Forester series. Positions in this class develop and perform forest management, forest fire prevention and suppression, forest insect and disease control, and law enforcement and public relations activities required to provide forest resources. This class is distinguished from the Forester Supervisor class by the latter's supervisory responsibilities. Positions are expected to develop methods and procedures to accomplish tasks or following existing criteria and practices.
Supervisor is available for guidance and assistance if needed.
An equivalent combination of training and experience indicating possession of the preceding knowledge and abilities may substitute for this education and experience. This class replaces the Forester B and County Forester classes.
