Forestry/conservation professionals obtain careers in the public and
private sectors that deal directly with forest conservation issues,
ecological analysis, policy, planning, and decision-making. This also
includes management of forests for goals ranging from providing biological
diversity to producing timber to creating wildlife habitat as well as
providing recreational resources. Foresters and conservationists may work
alone or with others under the supervision or direction of a more
experienced forester, forest manager, or research director. Some may
supervise forestry technicians or beginning foresters. They work primarily
outdoors in all kinds of weather, but they may work indoors when teaching,
conducting research, or writing business and technical reports. Persons
with a B.S. degree in Forestry require no license in Michigan. Michigan
foresters can be certified to become a "Registered Forester."
