<h3>PRESIDENTIAL FIELD FORESTER AWARDS<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal'>It is appropriate
that SAF recognize those members of our profession who actively practice
professional forestry in the field. Practitioners are the true foundation of
our profession. </span><o:p></o:p></h3>
<p>Practitioners often operate in nearly complete anonymity, yet their actions
are one of the most important and visible contributions to the viability and
understanding of our profession. This is where forestry truly happens and it is
important that we recognize those who perform the art and science of forestry
each and every day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>There are numerous field foresters who should be recognized for their talent
and accomplishments. These deserving individuals can be found in all regions of
the U.S. Using presidential prerogative, 11 members - one from each of the
eleven SAF districts - will be selected to receive an Outstanding Field
Forester Achievement Award yearly. This will ensure that each region of the
U.S. will be able to recognize an outstanding field forester.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><br>
<b>PURPOSE OF THE AWARD</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The purpose of this Award is to recognize foresters who have dedicated their
professional careers to the application of forestry on the ground using sound,
scientific methods and adaptive management strategies. The Presidential Field
Forester Awards will be presented to individuals who have displayed uncommon
talent, skill, and innovative methods to achieve a record of excellence in the
application of forest management. <o:p></o:p></p>
