FORESTERS AND THEIR SPECIALITY

After graduating from the institute future foresters will deal with various kinds of plants, that’s why they study such subjects as botany, dendrology and physiology of plants as well as engineering subjects.

Foresters work for the timber industry, government agencies, conservation groups, local authorities, urban parks boards, citizens' associations, and private landowners.

The forestry profession includes a wide diversity of jobs. Industrial foresters plan forest regeneration starting with careful harvesting. Urban foresters manage trees in urban green spaces.

Foresters work in tree nurseries growing seedlings for woodland creation or regeneration projects. Foresters improve tree genetics.

Professional foresters measure and model the growth of forests with tools like geographic information systems. Foresters may combat insect infestation, disease, forest and grassland wildfire. Foresters participate in wildlife conservation planning and watershed protection.

Foresters have been mainly concerned with timber management, especially reforestation, maintaining forests at prime conditions, and fire control.
