  • A Career in the Forestry and Wood Sector“More Than Just a Job – It's A
    [Type the company name] [Edition 1, Volume 1] “More than just a job – it’s a passion” Woodlands and Forests Woodlands and forests are a valuable renewable resource worldwide, as they offer a wide variety of life-supporting and life-enhancing benefits to millions of people.They provide wood, absorb and store carbon dioxide, moderate the climate, regulate our supply of fresh water, help prevent erosion and flooding, provide habitat for people and wildlife, and deliver numerous recreation opportunities. Forestry and wood will play a major role in the development of a low carbon economy. What do Forestry Professionals do? Forestry is an interdisciplinary field, linking environmental, social and economic values. Therefore forestry professionals need to develop an understanding of the broader economic, environmental, and social dimensions of managing a renewable resource – woodlands and forests - to consider all users and uses. Forestry professionals work for a great variety of employers: tree nurseries, forest management companies and consultancy firms as well as private estates. Many are self-employed, working, for example, as harvesting contractors, management agents or woodfuel producers. The forestry workforce has traditionally been male-dominated but this is changing, especially in forest management and the charitable sector. Others are employed by national and local governments working in publicly owned woodlands, by research establishments, colleges and universities as well as by non-government agencies and environmental charities. Some work as urban foresters or arboricultural consultants - managing trees in parks, streets and gardens. Forest tourism, social forestry – working with a range of communities - and the emerging global carbon trading sector also offer the prospect of a career in the forestry sector.
