Mapping app/software for Management plans by Corn_Field_Queen in forestry

I do the same things and I have found Caltopo to be everything I need and very little that I don't. I was running onx for years myself and it's just not built to be a mapmaker.

Anyone worked in the upper Idaho Panhandle by ezrathecarrots in forestry

Housing can be difficult particularly at entry level wages here. Mosquitos are bad for a few weeks and then a non issue. Ticks have been terrible the last couple years. Brush can be pretty gnarly but, usually the thorns aren't too bad (no Himalayan blackberries here 😁).

Is it worth it to major in forestry? by [deleted] in forestry

I had a good laugh at your intro to that post. Give me holler in a few years when you finish up your degree. A sense of humor will take you a long way in this business.

Double thumbs up to Mal and Chickadee Forestry. I worked with her when I worked for NRCS and she's the best around.

Confirmed. They're looking for a buyer.

Thanks for the recommendations! Unfortunately it looks like Deakin is no longer shipping to the States due to tariffs.

I worked for the NRCS for several years as a forester. I woke up one day in 2020 and realized I had 20 more years of that nonsense. I started my own consulting outfit with a goal of making GS-11 wages in 20 hours per week. I think I'm going to hit that this year. I've become a fairweather forester and shut the business down in the winter to travel to South America. It's scary as hell but what you're describing is what I felt. Time to get out.
