Forester I

Routine forestry work at the entrance level. An employee in this class is responsible for the care and protection of forests in an assigned area. Work involves the performance of a variety of fieldwork involving the sale of forest products and the periodical patrol and inspection of a range to ensure conformity to the controlling laws. Work also involves the performance of incidental clerical duties and may include rendering assistance with the supervision of silvicultural operations on a plantation. Supervision is provided by higher-level foresters who assign work, give preliminary instructions, and review work in progress and upon completion for quality and adherence to established procedures.
