Forest and conservation workers perform a variety of tasks to reforest and conserve timberlands and maintain forest facilities, such as roads and campsites. Some forest workers are employed on tree farms, where they plant, cultivate, and harvest many different kinds of trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care.
Most forest, conservation, timber-cutter, arborists and logging workers develop skills through on-the-job training, with instruction coming primarily from experienced workers. Training programs are becoming common in many States. These programs vary by State, but generally include some type of classroom or field training in a number of areas: best management practices, safety, endangered species, reforestation, and business management.
Generally, little formal education is required for most forest, conservation, and logging occupations. Many secondary schools, including vocational and technical schools and some community colleges, offer courses or a 2-year degree in general forestry, wildlife, conservation, and forest harvesting.
