[Iesaf_selkirk] SAF Presidential Field Forester Nominations

[Terry Shaw]

Greetings to All,


The deadline for SAF Presidential Field Forester Award nominations is
drawing near.  SAF District 1 nominations, with career narrative and
nomination letter, must be to national by June 15th.  So that would mean
getting the nomination information to Britton Pettit (IESAF Chair) or myself
(Terry Shaw) by the end of this week (June 6th) so we can get it to Chuck
Lorenz (District 1 Representative).  Please see nomination and contact
information below.


Thank you.

PRESIDENTIAL FIELD FORESTER AWARDS
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. 


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.

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.


PURPOSE OF THE AWARD

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.
