Forester

A forester manages forests and woodlands, making sure they are healthy and productive for wildlife, people, and the environment. This job involves planting new trees, looking after woodland areas, and making decisions about which trees to cut down for timber. Foresters also help protect forests from diseases, pests, and fires. They often use maps, computer software, and scientific knowledge to plan their work. Foresters may work for government bodies like Forestry England, private companies, or environmental charities. Their work is important for fighting climate change and providing habitats for animals and plants, as well as making sure there is enough wood for building and other uses.
