The image of the forester as a rugged woodsman riding guard on the National Forests is not an accurate picture today. Although outdoor work is still important, forestry today requires a combination of management, mathematics, engineering and human relations skills as well as professional forestry competence. At one time or another, a forester may specialize in timber management, range management, soil conservation, watershed protection, wildlife, forest recreation, fire control, and many similar tasks.
