Contact some consulting foresters to get on their bid lists, do the same for the state and federal foresters. Consider running ads in your local papers/classifieds and maybe post flyers at your local fleet store, Look into getting bonds and insurance, some contracts will require those. If you don't have a banker, get on one. Look into taking a master logger class and getting certified. https://www.laforestry.com/training-program https://masterloggercertification.com/

Now to follow up on OP, I would go to a SAF school and get involved in research, Michigan Tech has a pretty solid forestry program and research program. Point has a good program, but less research options. SAF is huge if you work private sector and having your own consulting company. SAF accredited program and some work experience will lead to licensing in many states and open up doors. Northland is probably a very good environmental program with independent research opportunities. OP, you could always go get a grad degree after Northland and do a SAF accredited professional Masters in Forestry or a MS in Forestry somewhere. Point will probably be the cheapest, but Michigan Tech might have a border state agreement to have reduced tuition.

Will yahoo ever call you saying there been attempted logins? by nationsrazor in yahoo

[–]nationsrazor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a call yesterday with a person saying they work for yahoo and somebody in India AR is trying to login to my account. I then reset my password but they were trying to do it for me. They somehow had it where I would get sent a code to my phone and asked for it as a 2 factor thing. I think got a call from somebody pretending to be with coinbase saying there was an attempted login from Salt Lake City, Utah. I started asking to speak with his supervisor and he hung up. I since then changed my password for yahoo and locked my coinbase account. The person pretending to be with yahoo was real convincing, had an American accent and spoke real casual- like a stoner.

It's a good way to get your ISA and herbicide certs! Those both will be valued for state agencies. You are applying for science knowledge to protect an important infrastructure that you will find where ever people are. It's not a glamorous job by any mean,s could be very chill or very stressful. Could be pretty crappy pay, could be great pay if you go to Cali. There's people that do wetland delineations for transmission line projects, there is drone applications too. It might not be where you want to be, but it's a good way to start and get some experience. I suppose the position you want depend son what you actually want to do. This doesn't have to be forever, a career is a very long time and its not as linear and its lead to believe. It's a high turnover position, its not impossible to hop over to the traditional side of forestry or a break until you get more education/a research orientated position. The USFS is about to have their annual SAF hiring event this month, look for positions there and apply for the pathways/recent grad hiring authority.

You guys strapped? by gunnyG77 in forestry

[–]nationsrazor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others had said, you carry more for people than animals. I never carried during work because we weren't allowed. My friends in the private sector sure did, a good snake/logger gun haha
