Forestry Engineer

As a forestry engineer, you manage forests and wooded land using science and careful planning. You design plans for planting, growing, and harvesting trees in a way that keeps forests healthy and productive over the long term. You study soil, climate, tree species, and ecosystems, then decide how to balance timber production, conservation, and the needs of wildlife and communities. Your work moves between the field, where you survey land and monitor forest health, and the office, where you plan, map, and write reports. You work with landowners, logging crews, environmental agencies, and conservation groups.
