If your chapter (or your employer) is
hosting a meeting, send Melinda the agenda ahead of time to evaluate the CFE content. (Melinda.Vokoun@uwsp.edu)

SAF now recognizes a new credential in addition to
Certified Forester. The Candidate Certified Forester (CCF) meets
all requirements of the Certified Forester except work experience. That
is, a CCF has the degree, passes the exam, pledges to follow the
standards, and pays the same fees as a regular Certified Forester, but
has less than 5 years of professional experience. Go to
www.safnet.org/certifiedforester/index.cfm for details.
-
The SAF program that recognizes continuing forestry
education through the issuance of a certificate is now called the
Outstanding Professional Development Recognition Program.
Requirements are the same as before, but the fee has increased from $15
to $25. Applications for a certificate no longer need to go through the
local CFE coordinator, but should be sent directly to Pat Cillay at the
national office. Download an application at
www.safnet.org/education/conforedu.cfm.
