Conclusion

Universities in the Southeast graduate many well-trained natural resources professionals. These experts, working from universities, government agencies, companies and as private consultants provide top-quality advice and assistance to small forest owners.

Some Albama foresters are listed in an online directory maintained by the Society of American Foresters (Web site). The Private Forest Management Team (Web site) is another good online source to find consulting foresters.
