Foresters are trained to understand forest ecology and a variety of techniques for managing timber, wildlife, water, and recreation resources.

In Massachusetts, there are three different types of foresters:

• County (Service) Foresters
• Consulting Foresters
• Industrial Foresters

It is important to understand the differences between these. For more information about foresters click here.
