What profession affects every aspect of your life every day? Chances are your answer wasn’t forestry! But can you imagine life with no clean water, no homes for people or wildlife, no places to enjoy the outdoors? For over 100 years, professional foresters in Wisconsin have been working hard to ensure that neither you nor future generations have to imagine such a life. Early European settlers considered the vast forests to be inexhaustible. In the 20th century the science of forestry developed, and it became clear that, although these forests were not inexhaustible, they were renewable. Over the past century the profession has continued to address issues of sustainability, with foresters working in such diverse areas as forest ecology, wildlife management, soil conservation, remote sensing and geographic information systems, urban forestry, and recreation. |
