Happy Spring! Training Reminder

It’s May, which means it’s a good time to refresh your inspector training before getting back out in the field to enjoy all of the beautiful spring-time forests in your area. Take advantage of our online training modules available at www.atfsdatabase.org or participate in an upcoming classroom training held by your state committee to connect with other foresters, ask questions, and share your experiences in the field as an ATFS Inspecting Forester.

Update from the Field

Regular field inspections are crucial to the viability of the ATFS program and often serve as the primary engagement a landowner has with the ATFS program. First and foremost, as an ATFS Inspecting Forester, thank you for your efforts in working with Tree Farmers to continue their sustainable forest management practices. Second, please help us maintain a credible program, and take full advantage of your interaction with the landowner, by thoroughly documenting your visit using the 004 inspection form.
