Forestry Technology

|Northeast MS Community College

The forestry technology program is designed to prepare a person to perform the duties of a forest technician. Forest technicians cruise timber, maintain boundary lines, grade and scale logs, and perform various other forest management tasks.  Technicians may supervise tree-planting crews and oversee other silvicultural activities.

Forest technicians assist in the management of parks, wildlife areas, and other government lands. Technicians support fire, insect, and disease control measures.  Forest technicians often work in the forest products field as loggers, contractors, lumber graders, and in various forest industry jobs.  The curriculum emphasizes field laboratory application of forest principles.  Graduates of the program receive Associate in Applied Science degrees.
