Forester

Foresters manage and protect woodlands, forests, and other natural areas. Their work involves planning and supervising planting, harvesting, and regeneration of trees, as well as managing habitats for wildlife, maintaining biodiversity, and ensuring the sustainable use of forest resources. Foresters may also be responsible for monitoring forest health, controlling pests and diseases, and advising landowners on best practices. The role often includes outdoor work in all weather conditions and may involve using mapping technology, machinery, and liaising with stakeholders such as landowners, government agencies, and conservation groups. A degree in forestry, environmental science, or a related subject is usually required, and practical experience, such as volunteering or internships, is highly valued.
