' THE TRAINING OF A FORESTER 



scribed as graduate positions, filled by men 

 of experience and acquaintance with the 

 several agencies involved, rather than by 

 newly fledged Foresters. A practical knowl- 

 edge of protection problems is essential." 



Forestry associations offer a different, 

 but often a most fascinating field, of work 

 for the trained Forester. There are at 

 present 39 such associations. The work 

 which they offer has much in common with 

 the duties of a State Forester. 



Fish and game associations are beginning 

 to employ Foresters, realizing that the wise 

 handling of the forests may well go hand in 

 hand with the care of the game and fish 

 which the forest shelters and protects. 

 Eventually nearly all such associations 

 which control any considerable body of land 

 in timbered regions may be expected to 

 utilize the services of trained Foresters of 

 their own.
