What does a community forester do?
A community forester establishes, protects, and manages individual trees and forest systems within a community or urban environment. They also work closely with non-profit groups, businesses, and city government to promote the benefits of trees in community areas as well as provide technical assistance, training and guidance. Community foresters are often employed by county or state government and typically provide assistance on a county or regional level. The Kansas Forest Service provides community forestry assistance through the Community Forestry Program. To find out which forester services your area please visit the District Map.
